• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I continue to believe that putin has things on trump first.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Thing today by joe thomas on the talk media network.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Joe works at the steel mill he's damn near every
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: day police for work when the sun comes up drops
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: a kid to school joe has everything he dreamed of
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: all the treasures that he needs no wonder joe's always smiling.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: this morning. We tell you what went on last night.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: We give you our analysis of it. And then you
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: come in and say how it is impacting you where
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: you are. You are the singular most important local part
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: of the radio station. So that incursion has to be
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: promoted and anointed. So before we headed to the news, Bob,
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: We got into this rabbit hole.
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: Dr.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Clark is curious about how there is little, if anything,
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: coming out of Wichita and the woman that drove her
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: minivan in there. Apparently the hot lick the police addressed yesterday,
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: which was she was a non-citizen. But Bob, you have
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: a different Bob had a different view heading into the
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: news that she's actually, you know, a first citizen citizen.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: Kind of person, right?
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: Her son plays on the football team, the soccer team.
• 1:32
  Speaker 7: They know who she is.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: But again, you go back into is this going to
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: taint the jury pool if she ever comes to a
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: jury trial? So it sounds more like she's not an illegal,
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: that she's perfectly legal, she's just connected, is what you're saying.
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: Yes, I think she's connected. I think she has... She's
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: a BVVIP... and everyone's afraid to say something for fear
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: of retaliation. Maybe it's the CEO of a factory there
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: or some type of development that many of the people
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: are participating in, and they're afraid of what will happen.
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: Maybe she's part of MS-13 gang. Maybe her husband's MS-13
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: gang ties.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Well, these are all the suppositions that's happening online.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: I feel like.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: I feel like we have a Reddit room going here. But,
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: you know, but those are questions that the police chief said,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: you know, we're not ready to answer any of that
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: stuff yet. So I just reported on what he said.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: If it was anyone else, they'd have released his name.
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: Look at Troy Aikman gets arrested, pulled over for suspected
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: drunk driving in Wisconsin. Bam, right away, within an hour,
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: it's on the news.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, and Tony Romo as well and the celebrity stuff.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: And this becomes the court procedural and the difference between
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: live PD or whatever that TV channel is. And what
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: is the need to know? Is she a danger to society?
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Like I said, here in our flagship city, they released
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: that accused child molester. on Bond because the judge said
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: he didn't believe he was a danger to society and
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: he's accused of raping nine elementary school girls. But he's
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: not a danger to society. I mean, outside of the
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: fact that everyone knows what he's accused of now and
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: what he looks like, maybe that's true. But that's an
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: extrapolation I've never heard of. Anyway, into our first things
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: this morning, the war between Russia and Ukraine still raging
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: on while diplomats continue. Steve Witkoff in St. Petersburg yesterday
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: with Vladimir Putin, who said that after seeing the proposal
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: that Europe and the Ukrainian leaders have come up with,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: said he saw little substance to it. Meanwhile, in Ukraine,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Volodymyr Zelensky, president there, said he hope for a positive
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: outcome of the meetings. Meanwhile, Russia has freed the American
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: soldier that was working as a mercenary for the Ukrainian resistance,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Stephen Hubbard. President Trump tweeted, Welcome.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: Home, Stephen.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: It's great to have you back. State Department Wednesday ordered
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: non-essential diplomats and family members to leave Saudi Arabia This
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: is amongst the attacks by the Iranian-backed Russian missile-supplied Houthi rebels.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Trump administration's war against Iran continues to rage on politically
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: more than militarily at this point, although the Houthis seem
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: to be taking up most of the military slack shooting
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: at Saudi Arabian infrastructure. Meanwhile, in Iran, Foreign Minister Abbas
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Arachi said that indirect talks with the United States have
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: been continuing in regards to a seven-day ceasefire and a
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: ceasing of hostilities in and around the Strait of Hormuz,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: which the press referred to as closing it, although ships
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: are still going through there. Democrat leaders have sued after
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: the administration sent notification to election officials that if they
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: participate in willful and or knowing ignorance of illegals voting
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: in their state, they could face charges themselves. The suit
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: alleges now that the Department of Justice is trying to
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: intimidate state and local officials into complying with their demands.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: And Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was on MS now. and was
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: not asked about whether she falsified her records to get
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: into the country, but whether or not she married her
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: brother to get.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Into the country, which she dismissed as conspiracy theories.

  Speaker 3: you recognize them?
• 11:07
  Speaker 12: By their clothes?
• 11:08
  Speaker 11: Their age, the way they speak. Would you notice a

  Speaker 11: 16-year-old boy who got his first.
• 11:14
  Speaker 13: Job, not for extra spending money, but to help feed
• 11:17

• 11:19
  Speaker 11: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes
• 11:22
  Speaker 11: to bed hungry so her kids can have dinner. Or
• 11:25
  Speaker 11: a 14-year-old girl who signs up to every.

  Speaker 2: We didn't make talk radio. We made it better. First
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:21
  Speaker 19: So the hard question you have to ask in.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: A newsroom, And I'm sure our buddy Matt in Virginia
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: can attest to this. He's been, you know, I mean,
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: he's got India ink in his blood. Is what you're
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: looking at news or salaciousness?
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: And, you know, one of the things that's.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: The hardest part of being transparent is, is what you're
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: about to report news or just meant to damage someone?
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: For example, a great example. So my lawyer had been
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: pulled over for I'm not sure what it was, but
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: he was charged with DUI and it wound up getting
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: dropped because he wasn't DUI. He was he was unfortunately
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: doing something else you're not supposed to do, which is
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: checking his cell phone. So but there was a it
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: made the front page of the local paper. just because
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: a lawyer.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: Of note.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Had an incident, an interaction with law enforcement, and I
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: will guarantee you if you check every city in all
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: 57 states, Mr. Obama, that you will find a lot
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: of places where lawyers have been pulled over by police officers.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: This one, because his family is of note, but had
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: no interaction with this, and that he was my lawyer,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: elevated the story to a photograph, taking up the entire over-the-fold,
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: above-the-fold section of the local newspaper. A picture of him
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: and me, though I was not involved in the DUI
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: case in court, nor was the photograph from that court case.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: And you look at the story and say, so what
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: is the news? What is the information that is being
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: imparted to a reader that is going to impact their day?
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Which is the definition of news. If there was a
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: woman who drove her minivan onto a soccer field in
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Wichita and they didn't catch her and she's still driving
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: around Wichita, then it's a story that you need to
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: know about and you probably need to know about it
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: frequently and in every milieu possible because there's some crazy
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: reckless driver going on. The things they don't tell you
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: are when the police have engaged in a high-speed pursuit
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: along the interstate. You don't get that because they close
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: hole that. So, yeah, law enforcement has to understand when
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: in transparency becomes a question because the things that we
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: need to know, like, hey, there's a police presence outside
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: of the elementary school. And why is that? We're not
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: commenting on that. But you'll tell us when a local
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: attorney of note gets a DUI. And that's where, pardon
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: the citizens for having a certain prickliness about transparency when
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: it who is going to wind up being charged. We
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: want to know what's going on if the police are
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: surrounding an elementary school. But also in the abstract, we
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: want to know, you know, is everyone going to be safe?
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Should we avoid those areas? So it's always a hard
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: question to say, is what you're talking about news or
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: just salacious? And in our zeal to have more clicks
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: on our website, we sell out to the salacious, which
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: often can be damaging because it can be used by
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: a defense attorney sometimes to get a bad actor off
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: the hook because the jury heard all about it on
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: the news and has made predetermined conclusions. Anyway, just one
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: of those things you have to think about. Not that
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Bob has the wrong point, Um, in, in questioning, you know, what,
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: who she was, but what is our need to know
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: versus what is the need to convict somebody that might've
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: committed a crime, you know, and have them punished properly.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: That's the part, you know, sure. You want to know
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: what happened. We got our friends from jcsgold.com. And then
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: I want to get to you. Who's this on the
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: line with us first thing this morning?
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: Hey, Joe, it's Kareem, but I would like to hear
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: what James from JCS Go would have to say.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: Well, you're going to wait and you can hear that
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: because James is here and then we'll go to Kareem
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: and get your thoughts as well because how the news
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: is impacting you. Maybe you disagree. Maybe you think, no,
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: we need to know this. Screw the jury pool. Juries
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: should come in with a preconceived notion. It would speed
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: up the process. I've talked to friends of mine have
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: said that, you know, we should have preconceived notions in
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: our jury pool's. You know, that way our trials can
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: take so much less time. This presumption of innocence is
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: really getting under people's skin in this country. But we
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: can get into all of that stuff. But first, let's
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: find out how gold and silver are doing this morning. James,
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: fourth generation of the Luck family, judiciously trying to help you,
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: not upsell you at jcsgold.com and at 434-979-COIN.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: Good morning, James. How are you doing this morning, sir?
• 19:35
  Speaker 22: I'm Joe Maljo, and I have some news this morning
• 19:38
  Speaker 22: because gold and silver are on sale.
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: That's for sure.
• 19:41
  Speaker 22: Gold is down over one percent in the red down
• 19:43
  Speaker 22: about fifty dollars so far and currently sitting at four
• 19:46
  Speaker 22: thousand ninety one dollars uh and silver is is the
• 19:51
  Speaker 22: big deal of the day down over three percent to
• 19:53
  Speaker 22: fifty six dollars and eight cents so some of the
• 19:56
  Speaker 22: lowest prices we've seen on silver in a while we
• 19:59
  Speaker 22: just were talking about that yesterday about gold and silver
• 20:02
  Speaker 22: staying in this channel And then silver now kind of
• 20:05
  Speaker 22: breaking below getting to discount areas. Last time we got
• 20:09
  Speaker 22: close to this, it bounced back up pretty quickly.
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: We'll see where it goes from here.
• 20:13
  Speaker 22: But definitely some deals to be found at JCSGold.com because
• 20:18
  Speaker 22: all of our prices update in real time. So you're
• 20:21
  Speaker 22: not seeing us, you know, our prices not adjust. They
• 20:24
  Speaker 22: adjust automatically. So if gold and silver go down, you,
• 20:28
  Speaker 22: the client, can take advantage of that right away.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Since transparency has been the discussion point lately, if you
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: leave their website up on your computer every couple of seconds,
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: I'm not even sure of the window, but it will
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: refresh and it will close the window down and say
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: refreshing prices. So you can see how frequently that happens.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: If you feel the urge to trust but verify, I
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: think was the expression I remember. James but I've watched
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: it happen I'll be sitting there and all of a
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: sudden the website will go dark for a second and
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: it'll tell me it's refreshing prices a little swirly thing
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: hypnotizes me and then the new prices come up so
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: yeah without question you get the latest and the greatest
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: there grab these some silver though stacking it right James
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: is what you say stacking silver.
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: That's exactly right.
• 21:23
  Speaker 22: And taking advantage of these down days is the key
• 21:26
  Speaker 22: part of stacking gold and silver because your consistency, sometimes
• 21:31
  Speaker 22: you pay a little higher price and sometimes you pay
• 21:33
  Speaker 22: a little lower price. So you don't want to skip
• 21:35
  Speaker 22: those days because that affects your overall portfolio in the future,
• 21:40
  Speaker 22: just missing those days.

  Speaker 17: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
• 23:14
  Speaker 17: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:16
  Speaker 17: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
• 23:20
  Speaker 17: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
• 23:23
  Speaker 17: the rule. Many high-end or luxury vehicles call for premium
• 23:26
  Speaker 17: or higher octane fuel. And the reason for this is
• 23:29
  Speaker 17: not just due to the octane rating. There are better
• 23:31
  Speaker 17: fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too
• 23:35
  Speaker 17: that vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
• 23:38
  Speaker 17: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
• 23:41
  Speaker 17: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
• 23:44
  Speaker 17: your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful, you may
• 23:47
  Speaker 17: find better performance and miles per gallon because you are
• 23:50
  Speaker 17: cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive. Just
• 23:53
  Speaker 17: don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them anytime soon.

  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: I don't know what they have to say.
• 28:37
  Speaker 19: It makes no difference anyway.
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: Whatever it is, I'm against it.
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: No matter what it is or who commenced it, I'm
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: against it.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: So Marxism is one of the reasons you don't want
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: to fall prey to this I want to know the
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: name of someone thing. Because, and this is back to
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: the point I was making before we talked to James
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: a little bit, and I'll get to Kareem and Blair
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: and the slave auction block, all of it here. And
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: at some point we'll talk about Ilhan Omar and how
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: she managed to get Chris Hayes to do crisis communications
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: for her. And Abdul El-Sayed and his answer to the question,
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: Are you a member of the Muslim Brotherhood? And he said,
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: that's a ridiculous question.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: No, it's not. No, it's not. But what is a
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: ridiculous question and what isn't? What is news and what isn't?
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: Is an investigation or is the fact that the FBI
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: might need to investigate a candidate for office important even
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: though they have this unwritten rule that says.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: We don't.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: Investigate political figures within a window right before they stand
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: for reelection? What if they rob a bank? What if
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: they have a grievous car accident? What if they are
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: caught lying about their citizenship? You're like, well, we're going
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: to wait until after the election to investigate that.
• 30:21
  Speaker 21: Really?
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 30:22
  Speaker 21: Really?
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: Is that what we want our law enforcement to do?
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: So it's a fine line. It's a borderline.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: And it's one that you have to ask if you
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: even paddle around in the journalism pool like I do
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: to determine what is news and what is just salaciousness.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: Because just because somebody is well-connected doesn't mean they don't
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: have a right to fair trial. Technically speaking, even somebody
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: who is in this country illegally is entitled to certain
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: protections under the law. Just because somebody's not a citizen
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: doesn't mean we can treat them like January 6th protesters
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: and leave them in a hole for two years.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: Yes, I said it that way intentionally. What do you think?
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: So it's important because if you fall prey to the
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: class warfare, oh, it's a famous guy's wife, it's a
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: famous football player, it's a famous person who said nice
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: things about Donald Trump, any of those things, you fall
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: prey to the Marxist agenda of class warfare. Just because
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: somebody has a radio show doesn't mean they don't get
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: a fair trial. Just because somebody is a well-known attorney
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: or the wife of a CEO doesn't mean they're not
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: entitled to a fair trial. Because we teeter on banana
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: republicanism if we do. And I know some members of
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: the GOP that say we're already banana republicans.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: Kareem, thank you for.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: Hanging on the line this Thursday morning.
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: What's on your mind, sir?
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: Oh, Joe, there's a lot, like always.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm telling you.
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: I'm on my second cup of coffee. My cups are
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: 40 ounces, so usually I'm pretty wound up.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: You know, and imagine what it's like to be me.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: You only have to call into the program. I have
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: to sort out four hours of this.
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: Bless your heart. I'm sure the listeners are. I'm sure
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: they're very empathetic to what you have to go through.
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 32:40
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: Enough about me. Let's talk about you. What do you
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: think of me?
• 32:44
  Speaker 20: So.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: What has triggered you this morning?
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: A couple of things. First, I just want to throw
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: out there just because it may be news later on.
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: France is looking at a 700 billion dollar budget deficit
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: that they have to take care of. I'll set that aside.
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: I'm throwing that for planning that seat for a later date.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: Are they planning on taxing us for it? I mean,
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: you know, is this.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: Is this something I've got to worry about on my
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: property tax bill in the United States? You know, but
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: you raise a good point on this because Emmanuel Macron
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: is trying to downplay the Islamists' role in the riots
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: this past weekend by saying, oh, no, this is about
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: the economy. It's amazing listening to somebody like Emmanuel Macron
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden taking responsibility for a bad economy.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: Really? Is it so scary, the idea of.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: Saying that amongst the college kids, and again, I can nuance, yes,
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: there were college kids protesting the fact that the economy
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: in France stinks. But it was co-opted in most of
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: these places by Islamists who were screaming, you know, death
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: to France, death to America, and chanting those kind of things.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: I think I even saw Somebody told me there.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: Was an Abdul El-Sayed yard sign there, but I haven't
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: confirmed that or not.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: Jokes. These are the jokes.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: But, yeah, so that is an important part of the
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: story is that Emmanuel Macron is talking about a budget
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: deficit for the first time. But what was the main
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: crux of your call?
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: Transparency in our government.
• 34:32
  Speaker 22: Joe?
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: I spent some time in Kansas. Don't worry, I wasn't
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: a ward of the state or a guest of the constabulary.
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: But I was there during a time when I think
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: the gentleman's name was Diller, was assassinated, and the foyer
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: of his church, which led to a statewide, interstate actually, manhunt,
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: and they finally got the guy later on. But his
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: name was Puttowza APB, and it was big news. Now,
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: we have– I'm for transparency. I'm for if you get arrested,
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: your name goes out. Everything– the public knows it because
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: the jury is– it's a jury of your peers, and
• 35:18
  Speaker 7: your peers are going to be biased. And while we've
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: negated jury nullification, which I think is a valuable– a
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: valuable right that we should not have thrown away. It's important.
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: When we say unbiased, no, because, for example, with the
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: George Floyd, Derek Chauvin jury, We actually had activists on
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: that jury who were pretty, it didn't matter what the
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: defense was going to say. No, no, no. He killed him.
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: I watched nine minutes of him standing on his neck. No,
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: fentanyl was enough to, well, I'll set that aside.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: We all know what the fentanyl is. You're right. But yeah,
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: but they were activists.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: They should have put police officers to cancel them out
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: is what you're saying is that the defense should have
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: been able to say, well, then we want, If these
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: three people are members of Black Lives Matter, we want
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: three police officers on the jury as well to balance
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: it out.
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: I'll balance it that way, Joe. Spotlight. It used to,
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: all the trials were outside because that's where everybody could
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: see it. Don't make the jury anonymous. Make it make
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: it known who they are, because sometimes the defense won't
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: catch it. For example, Roger Stone's trial, the floor person
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: was a bundler for the Democrat Party.
• 36:32
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: How do you be a fundraiser for the Democrat Party
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: as impartial? You're not. Juries are not impartial. They're human.
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: That's why the defense lawyers appeal to their humanity or
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: they appeal to whatever just to get that one juror
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: to be the throw.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: Well, but you also talked about voir dire. And this
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: is always my point with the Roger Stone thing. Roger
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: Stone can afford better attorneys. And that's not all of
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: us can. And that's why it's important to. you'll have
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: a process that includes not just the jury, but the
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: jury creating an advisory. Last thought, we've got about a
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: minute here.
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: The last thing I guess, Joe, she got released right
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: over consciousness. Is she still allowed to draw? Have a
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: great day, Joe.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: I have a great Joe and I'll have a, you know,
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: it's day Thomas in the morning. Have a great show there. No, it's,
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: and I appreciate it. Two 40 ounce cups of coffee.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: That'll do that to you.
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: Every time.
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: Trust me, I know that's usually what the nine o'clock
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: hour starts to sound like around here on First Thing Today.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: You know, how does a jury trial work? How does
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: a jury of our peers wind up working? And that's
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: an important thing because we have to have faith in
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: our system because the kids want to throw out the system.
• 38:01
  Speaker 12: Can you believe, with all the recent violent protests, looting,
• 38:05
  Speaker 12: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
• 38:09
  Speaker 12: the police? At a time when America's neighborhoods need the
• 38:13
  Speaker 12: protection of police the most, some elected officials would rather
• 38:17
  Speaker 12: create more chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of

  Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:08
  Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13
  Speaker 9: I'm Dr.
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: Mitch.
• 39:15
  Speaker 9: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 39:20
  Speaker 9: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 39:24
  Speaker 9: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 39:29
  Speaker 9: a key component.
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: To our overall health.
• 39:32
  Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and
• 39:36
  Speaker 9: inflammation has antioxidant properties and research suggests that curcumin can
• 39:42
  Speaker 9: prevent cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer
• 39:46
  Speaker 9: and in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects

  Speaker 25: Hi, everybody. I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy
• 41:01
  Speaker 25: growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
• 41:04
  Speaker 25: with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
• 41:06
  Speaker 25: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: Just look at the.
• 41:09
  Speaker 25: Birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: Who work hard to provide for their young.
• 41:15
  Speaker 25: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 41:18
  Speaker 25: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 41:21
  Speaker 25: allows them to navigate the trees.
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: And the wild in search of fruit. This remarkable work.
• 41:25
  Speaker 25: Ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines. We
• 41:28
  Speaker 25: know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but because
• 41:31
  Speaker 25: of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving work every day.
• 41:35
  Speaker 25: Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans,
• 41:38
  Speaker 25: some of whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics,
• 41:40
  Speaker 25: alerting them when there's a change in their blood chemistry.
• 41:43
  Speaker 25: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
• 41:46
  Speaker 25: contribute to society.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: And help those in need.
• 41:48
  Speaker 25: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 41:51
  Speaker 25: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this

  Speaker 13: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah?
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 42:04
  Speaker 18: And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 42:10
  Speaker 13: Heart and brain.
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 25: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 42:15
  Speaker 13: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 42:18
  Speaker 13: somebody call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 15: Love that guy.
• 42:21
  Speaker 18: Me too.
• 42:21
  Speaker 20: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 42:24
  Speaker 20: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 26: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 43:33
  Speaker 26: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 43:35
  Speaker 26: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 43:41
  Speaker 26: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.

  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: You're on the air.
• 44:20
  Speaker 19: It's still fun for me to know.
• 44:23
  Speaker 8: What's on your mind?
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: To think the band Gun Hill Road, because of our
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: association with WGCH 1490, can be heard on Gun Hill Road.
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: Who knew, right? So 434-882-4217.
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: Text messages and phone calls come in there because we'll
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: tell you what went on. And I want to know
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: how it's impacting you, where you are, because it's going
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: to be different. Because you've got other influences and you've
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: got other places and you've got other experiences. Ron is
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: on with us in, I think, Salem. I'm not sure
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: what part of the KFIR listening area in Oregon you're
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: calling from, Ron.
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: I don't want to dox you.
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying I didn't know if it's in Salem
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: or whereabouts in Oregon you are. But I appreciate you
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: calling in this morning. How are you doing, sir?
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: I'm doing okay, sir.
• 45:37
  Speaker 21: I want to let everybody know my state in 2022
• 45:41
  Speaker 21: by four-tenths of a point voted for health care for all. Now,
• 45:47
  Speaker 21: keep this in mind is that there's a lot of
• 45:50
  Speaker 21: federal money that comes into this state through Medicare and
• 45:53
  Speaker 21: Medicaid funds.
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: Oh, yes, it does.
• 45:55
  Speaker 21: And being the president with the big, beautiful bill, I
• 45:59
  Speaker 21: have no problem with it because we spent $ 11 billion
• 46:03
  Speaker 21: every biennium just from children and illegal aliens for health
• 46:08
  Speaker 21: care out of 127. We used 21 and 23 budget.
• 46:14
  Speaker 21: It was $ 127 billion, and 83.4% of that budget was
• 46:17
  Speaker 21: federal money. My state used to cut trees, 5 billion
• 46:21
  Speaker 21: board feet of wood, and it was less than 9%
• 46:24
  Speaker 21: 30 years ago when I first came to the state
• 46:26
  Speaker 21: in 1993.
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: That's amazing.
• 46:28
  Speaker 21: The facts is, yes, it has, but as a disabled veteran,
• 46:35
  Speaker 21: I was in the Navy 40 years ago, and I
• 46:38
  Speaker 21: had foot surgery and other things. God bless you, and
• 46:41
  Speaker 21: I've seen things happen in the Philippines, on the Marcos,
• 46:43
  Speaker 21: and seen what happened during Tiananmen Square on my second
• 46:46
  Speaker 21: deployment back-to-back. But to make a long story short is
• 46:50
  Speaker 21: that when I used to order my– prosthetic shoes, you know,
• 46:54
  Speaker 21: with orthotics and stuff and everything else, usually take less
• 46:57
  Speaker 21: than two weeks. My community care program, the VA system
• 47:01
  Speaker 21: through Portland is great. I work out of the same clinic,
• 47:04
  Speaker 21: good doctors. Now, I'll give you two quick examples. One,
• 47:10
  Speaker 21: it took me four and a half months from the
• 47:12
  Speaker 21: middle of the first week in May to September 22nd
• 47:16
  Speaker 21: to get those same shoes. Number two, I just had
• 47:20
  Speaker 21: a a consult to get a eye appointment, which usually
• 47:24
  Speaker 21: take two weeks. I got to wait to February 22nd,
• 47:27
  Speaker 21: 2027 to get, to get my exam. You figure another
• 47:31
  Speaker 21: three weeks, two months, get the glasses. And, and the
• 47:36
  Speaker 21: point is, is that healthcare for all is pushing a
• 47:39
  Speaker 21: lot of doctors, a lot of specialists. What we have
• 47:42
  Speaker 21: adapted is the Quebecian, Ontarian healthcare system. And that you
• 47:47
  Speaker 21: less than almost 20% of the population is, of Canada
• 47:51
  Speaker 21: goes down to the Western states down South there, even
• 47:54
  Speaker 21: to Mexico, or even as far as Thailand and India,
• 47:57
  Speaker 21: if they need healthcare and we're being pushed out. So
• 48:00
  Speaker 21: my warning to all you people that said you want
• 48:03
  Speaker 21: healthcare for all, and we're not fiscally strained. It, if
• 48:08
  Speaker 21: it hurts veterans like myself and we're shutting on a
• 48:11
  Speaker 21: lot of healthcare companies being forced out, insurance companies being
• 48:16
  Speaker 21: forced out, hospitals closing, And they always want to say
• 48:21
  Speaker 21: the rural stuff, but it really boils down to when
• 48:23
  Speaker 21: you're enabling people that doesn't pay into it, whether it's
• 48:26
  Speaker 21: the homeless, whether it's the invaders that, as I call them,
• 48:29
  Speaker 21: that came into the country, and everybody's backpocketing through, say,
• 48:35
  Speaker 21: drug addiction or homeless, and 22% of that same big budget,
• 48:39
  Speaker 21: we're over $ 137 billion in the 23-25 budget, it's crazy.
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: And yet, if it ain't worked in Europe.
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: Well, and as you mentioned, you know, you talk about
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: what we mentioned in the last segment, France's enormous budget deficit.
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: You know, at some point they're going to be turning
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: to Greece for a bailout. And that's pretty scary. But
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: but you talk about the Quebecois and they come down into,
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: you know, if you're coming to Michigan or to New
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: York for health care because it's better than your home state,
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: you know, you're in big, big trouble. But the thing
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: you highlight, Ron, is what we've said all along, ever
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: since the beginning of Hillary care. I mean, I'll go
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: back to when Bill Clinton suggested that he was going
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: to come up with a commission that Hillary Clinton was
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: going to oversee and everyone made it out like we
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: were mad because Hillary Clinton was the first lady and
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: what gravitas does she have? The bigger problem with HillaryCare
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: was that the entire board of this overseeing body were
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: made up of health insurance company CEOs. That was the
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: concern that I had, and I remember using my show
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: to protest it. And Obamacare, by the time they come
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: up with that, it winds up being the same thing.
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: They've just repackaged it. They've come up with cooler names
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: for it. They have death panels. They have advisability of
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: care panels, I should call it. But the most important
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: message from the moment this came down the pike again
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: was that the people who really deserve, really need medical care,
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: whether it be the working poor, the veterans, the single moms,
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: the kids whose families, you know, and the kids who
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: have no ability to help their family make more money.
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: They're just existing in a family that lives under the
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: poverty level. These folks are being pushed out in favor
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: of groups that make a political point, that look good
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: in a march, that help a politician look like they're, quote, caring, Ron.
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: And your story is exactly what you know, we warned
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: about and we can still turn it around. I mean,
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: that's the thing. And you mentioned the one big, beautiful bill.
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: But the Trump administration is still struggling with this behemoth
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: of trying to to pare it down, to write it,
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: because every congressperson has to go back to their district
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: if they're a Republican and they're going to get assaulted
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: by by people who use simplistic phrases like you're cutting
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: out my health care. When it's not what they did,
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: but it sounds good on a bumper sticker. And and
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: that's that's been President Trump's big challenge is the way
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: they're getting campaigned about really reforming our health care system.
• 51:45
  Speaker 21: You hit the nail right on the head, just like
• 51:47
  Speaker 21: go back to 2016, 2017 in England and France, when
• 51:51
  Speaker 21: baby chart, even the president, when he was running in 2016,
• 51:54
  Speaker 21: try to get baby chart was going to.
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: Fly him to the level of health care. You need it.
• 51:59
  Speaker 21: And they chose to eliminate that kid's life. And when
• 52:03
  Speaker 21: the Pope, the previous Pope couldn't stop the life down
• 52:06
  Speaker 21: in Italy. This is basically, in my opinion, as a
• 52:09
  Speaker 21: person who was a false child, my second false father
• 52:13
  Speaker 21: with Tuskegee, flew 124 missions during World War II, one
• 52:16
  Speaker 21: of the few Black Americans that went into Russia, what
• 52:20
  Speaker 21: is now Ukraine at the time, after they adopted a
• 52:23
  Speaker 21: daughter in 1953. And he's seen the mutilations of Mingalist
• 52:27
  Speaker 21: doctors everywhere. Western Europe at the time period hey Ron
• 52:31
  Speaker 21: the main point is this thank you very much brother
• 52:33
  Speaker 21: I really appreciate.
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: You getting the message up I appreciate everything you've done
• 52:37
