  Speaker 1: I mean, you got the first who was articulate and
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: a storybook, man.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Joe works at Steel Meal.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: He's damn near every day. Leaves for work when the
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: sun comes up. Drops a kid to school in the
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: normal world. Joe has everything he dreamed of. All the
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: treasures that he needs.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: He only aims to please you.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Let me be your Joe. Thank you for letting me
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: be your storybook character. Like Shrek, only without the bad
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Scottish accent. Thank you for the fear. And how much
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: did Shrek sound like Fat Bastard after a bit? Right
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: there at 434-882-4217. That is the phone number. After I
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: tell you what went on last night, I expect you
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: to tell me how it's impacting you, where you are.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: We will take the news of the day, dice it
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: up into easily digestible gummies. And once the side effects
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: start to take hold, I want to start playing around
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: in your head there. It's like Ken Kesey at 434-882-4217.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: We were talking about this earlier. We received an email.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Steve is concerned about refine, baby, refine, and how dirty
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: refineries are. And they're not the reason gas prices is
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: the greedy, rich gas. gas company oligarchs that are the
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: reason gas costs $ 8 for diesel in Californian places. Charles
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: went to an AI search modem under the banner, Cost
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Breakdown of a Gallon of Gasoline in California. And he writes, taxes,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: et cetera, that the state of California slaps on a
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: gallon of gas and pockets roughly $ 1. 35 per gallon. And
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: that's just the state. Remember, there's also federal taxes on
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: a gallon of gasoline. The state excise tax is 63 cents. Federal, oh,
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: he did include federal excise tax, 18.4 cents. Cap and trade,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: 23 cents. Low carbon fuel standard tax, 18 cents. Underground
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: storage fee, 2 cents, because that's your responsibility to pay
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: for that. Sales tax could get to be as high
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: as 10 cents. So there's a lot of stuff that
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: goes into the price of your gasoline that has nothing
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: to do with the refining of the gasoline. But we
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: still need to get on as EPA lifted its regulations yesterday.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: As we told you in your first things yesterday morning,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: there was going to be a change in the weather.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Lee Zeldin announced yesterday at the Global Meeting of Environmental Leadership,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: that they're repealing their rules, removing $ 300 billion in costs
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: over industry that Lee Zeldin said will unleash American energy.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: EPA officials say the change will allow utilities to make
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: their own best decisions. for their ratepayers rather than be
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: forced to close aging or inefficient plants or plants that
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: they might still have, oh, I don't know, generated electricity with.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Supreme Court on Monday rejected the administration's mail ballot restrictions.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: The decisions allow states to continue the order based among
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: some of the conservative court members because of the short
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: period of time between now and the midterm elections. For example,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Brett Kavanaugh said the restrictions should not go into effect
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: for this year's elections, but indicated he might rule in
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: their favor for future elections. The man in the wheelchair
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: was Senator Mitch McConnell. He returned to the Capitol Monday
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: after a three-month absence and a serious fall, saying he's
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: still not 100%. but did take questions and quipped with
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: the press, After two decades of dodging your questions, I
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: wasn't sure how many of you would be here today.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Attorney General Todd Blanch responded to President Trump's statements regarding
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: releasing anything the FBI has on the Saudi royal family's
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: involvement in September 11th and the terror attacks. There'll be
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: more records coming out, Blanche told CBS News in an interview,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: adding that the administration is looking for answers for families.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: One thing we are not doing, we're not going to
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: protect people, Blanche said. Vice President J.D. Vance said there
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: are questions about the motives behind AI executives calling on
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: the government to punish them. Vance said Monday he was
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: skeptical of the unusual efforts by some of the big
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: AI companies to get more government control. And border czar
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Tom Homan says there is no plan for ICE officers
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: to sweep polling locations during the November midterm elections. Kevin Warsh,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Federal Reserve Chair, may be forced to raise the rates
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: on Wednesday. Our friends at Mesa Verde Hemp have been
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: enormous boon. My wife is all, she said, you want
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: me to do a testimonial on how much better my
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: back feels after her dumb husband realized, oh, you can
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: put it on topically as well. CBD oil that you
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: can get at MesaVerdeHemp.com, loyal listener and a loyal supporter
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: of what we do here and it has helped my
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: wife who fell while caring for her hundred-year-old mother feel better.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: A few years ago my youngest son had something minor
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: It was MediShare that came through for us and there
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: was no hassle, there was no problem.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 7:16

  Speaker 9: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 7:28
  Speaker 9: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old.
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: And members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: medical bills.
• 7:39
  Speaker 10: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 7:41
  Speaker 11: You can focus in on supporting other people.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: MediShare is affordable.
• 7:45

• 8:04
  Speaker 14: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 8:09
  Speaker 14: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 8:13
  Speaker 14: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 8:18
  Speaker 14: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 8:23
  Speaker 14: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 8:28
  Speaker 14: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 8:33
  Speaker 14: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 8:36
  Speaker 14: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 8:39
  Speaker 14: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 8:42
  Speaker 14: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
• 8:47
  Speaker 14: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

  Speaker 17: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 9:37
  Speaker 17: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 9:42
  Speaker 17: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 9:45
  Speaker 17: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 9:49
  Speaker 17: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 9:53
  Speaker 17: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 9:57
  Speaker 17: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 10:00
  Speaker 17: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

• 10:10
  Speaker 17: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
• 10:14
  Speaker 17: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 10:17
  Speaker 17: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
• 10:20
  Speaker 17: adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,

  Speaker 5: how would you recognize them?
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: By their clothes?
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: Their age?
• 11:09
  Speaker 11: The way they speak?
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: Would you notice a 16-year-old boy who.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Got his first job?
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Not for extra spending money, but to help feed his
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: little sisters.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: to bed hungry so her kids can have dinner. Or

  Speaker 13: I love these nachos. I love our kickball league. I
• 12:40
  Speaker 13: love this guy.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: What's your name?
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: You know what I love?

• 13:17
  Speaker 2: We could tell you what 6-7 means. Where's the fun
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: in that? First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Talk Media Network.
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: Is it, is it anymore?
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: So Zaphod Madmoney, the mayor of New York, along with
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: a bunch of other mayors, have sued the administration over
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Friday's new immigration law, public charge, which is part and
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: parcel of what used to be immigration policy, which was,
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: are you going to impact the government? Are you coming
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: here just to be a drain on the system, or
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: can you be self-sufficient? So we'll get into that. But Dr. Clark,
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: you had asked me a couple of questions regarding the
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: cost of petrofuel under my banner of refine, baby, refine.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: So you asked me about Who profits the oil companies
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: if there's not that much refinery space? And then who
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: then owns those companies, right?
• 14:52
  Speaker 10: Yeah, at least.
• 14:53
  Speaker 19: So why would they in any way encourage more refinery
• 15:00
  Speaker 19: capacity even if they got to own them? And here's
• 15:04
  Speaker 19: the thing. If we start, like, allowing more refineries to
• 15:09
  Speaker 19: be built, maybe somebody else builds one besides the ones
• 15:13
  Speaker 19: they own.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Ah, competition.
• 15:15
  Speaker 19: No, no, no. Not going to have that here. So
• 15:19
  Speaker 19: it's in their best interest for there not to be
• 15:23
  Speaker 19: more refineries. How much pull do you think they have
• 15:27
  Speaker 19: with our political class?
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: How much pull? Oh, my goodness. There's there's just enough
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: sexual illusions to to cover how much pull they have
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: with our government class. Mitch McConnell and and even, you know,
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: and the Trump administration as well. I mean, because they
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: are they are accepting the premise that this is all
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: you got. And, you know, and nobody else could build
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: a refinery. Obviously, it's an expensive thing. But this is
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: the same Trojan horse J.D. Vance was talking about with
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: AI and these AI dictators who want the government to
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: come in and do the same thing, help them regulate
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: themselves a market where they're the only ones who can
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: keep up with the regulation.
• 16:16
  Speaker 19: Now, we talked the other day about does the EU
• 16:19
  Speaker 19: like Donald Trump? And, well, probably not. And are they
• 16:23
  Speaker 19: doing everything they can through their little puppet in Ukraine?
• 16:29
  Speaker 19: to restrict Russia's ability to produce and sell diesel fuel. Well,
• 16:34
  Speaker 19: you reckon those global corporations have a lot of pull
• 16:37
  Speaker 19: over there in the EU too?
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, probably more so than they do even here.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:44
  Speaker 19: So, I don't know, Joe. We need to seriously consider
• 16:50
  Speaker 19: just where we are and what our situation is more
• 16:54
  Speaker 19: than we do. We don't see the forest for the trees,
• 16:57
  Speaker 19: you know?
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: If only somebody had taken the time to warn us
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: about all these international entanglements. If only, you know, somebody
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: with some gravity in American history.
• 17:10
  Speaker 19: If only we'd have had a founder.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if there was just somebody who had seen the
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: forest for the trees and written us a map on
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: how to get around those trees, that would have been
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: a really cool thing. And he'd be revered, wouldn't he?
• 17:26
  Speaker 19: So who's the one person on the world stage that's
• 17:30
  Speaker 19: messing things up for these global corporatists?
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, without question, it's President Trump. And again, he's a pragmatist.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: He understands where he is right now. But maybe the
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: whole drill, baby, drill thing was designed to push us
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: to a point where we have no other choice but
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: to notice that we're not refining, baby, refining. Our friends
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: at JCSGold.com would love to hear from you today because
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: as by my first glance at JCSGold.com, gold's having another
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: sale day this morning. Let's check in with James Luck
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: from JCSGold.com, fourth generation of the Luck family, helping people
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: dive into the gold and silver investment world. Good morning, James.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: How are you doing, sir?
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: I'm doing well, Joe. And yeah, gold and silver tried
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: to find some support yesterday and started to bounce a
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: little bit.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: They've given that up so far this morning.
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: Gold's down about a half a percent, down $ 24 to.
• 18:32
  Speaker 20: $ 4, 274.
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: Silver's down just about a tenth of a percent to $ 63. 13,
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: finding some support there. Yeah, take advantage of these prices
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: while they last on gold and silver. You know, a
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: lot of our clients look for these little dips to
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: get in on discounts, of course. And the main thing
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: is just to stack gold and silver over time, you know,
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: buy your allotted amount that fits your budget, you know,
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: once every two weeks, once a month, and you can
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: do that at jcsgold.com.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: No quotas, no call sheets, no closers get coffee posters
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: on the break room wall. It is just a family business. And, uh,
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: their staff that want to help you get into the
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: gold and silver market so that it's beneficial for you.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: And that's the thing that I think a lot of
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: people get worried about, James, when they call these big
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: operations is that the answers they're getting are not based
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: on what helps the caller, but the callee. And they
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: really don't get that from you guys.
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: That's exactly right. It's just me that fields all the
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: phone calls. So you're not getting just some sales guy
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: on the phone.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: You're getting me.
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: And if I'm on the line, leave a voicemail and I'll.
• 19:48

  Speaker 7: Sounds good.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: Thanks, Joe. Gold's on sale this morning at jcsgold.com. This
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: is why, and I bring up, and I was obviously
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: ham-handedly referring to George Washington's parting shot, mic drop. All right,
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: he called it his farewell address. And his warning about
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: international entanglements was not about isolationism, but it was about
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: making decisions not based on what's right for America and
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: America's style of governance. And that's where we've come off
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: the rails. We're making decisions not based on what's right
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: and wrong for the owners of this enterprise known as
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: the citizens. were making decisions based on factors that, in
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: many cases, certainly until the Freedom of Information Act request
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: laws were written, most of us would never have known about.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: That's casually what we like to call in the trade, corruption.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: And I know there's an implication of some shadowy figure
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: in a parking lot with a briefcase. But corruption in
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: its essence means to corrupt the process, to corrupt the
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: decision-making process.

  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:29
  Speaker 23: You know, I'm supposed to.
• 28:31
  Speaker 21: Be able to.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: Help you in these ways. And I certainly point out
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: to you where these are very simple conceptual arguments that
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: the Marxist wants to portray as complex so that you
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: will cede your natural God-given authority over your decisions to
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: an expert whose decision certainly will be safe and effective.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: And the Supreme Court ruling, based on the fact that
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: there's not time, this is— and, of course, you had the
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Republican secretaries of state like John Ratzenberger. It's a little
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: known fact, they know him, that Georgia can't have— It's
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: just not time. Playing the role of the teenage middle
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: school student slacker who spent the last month playing video
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: games rather than prepping their science project. And now it's
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: the night before the science project is due and they're Oh,
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: they're working really hard in the, you know, two hours
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: that they've devoted to something that they should have devoted
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: six months to. And we're allowing it. Because the alternative
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: is the Marxist. So you have the the the incapable Marxist.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: or the incorrigible. Those are your choices. Hamp, giving voice
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: to this, listening to us down there on WTTB on
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: the Treasure Coast, hey, did the Republicans pass that SAVE
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: Act or that silly time change thing yet? Hmm, let's
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: vote them in again. Well, you know, here's the thing. See,
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: the House did their bit. The Senate hasn't. And I
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: wrote a piece, my most recent column for the Daily
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: Signal is based on research because Virginia actually begins voting
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: on Friday in the midterm elections. And here's what I,
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: and I believe it goes live 8.30 this morning, something
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: like 8, 8.30, go to dailysignal.com, all of our state pages,
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: great stuff on the, the Sharia battle in Texas and
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: California's dumping waste in the water. I didn't think California's
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: did that. So, you know, all of that to be covered.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: But here's what I published, because this is about the
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: Senate race. Because, Hamp, what you're talking about is punishing
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: the House members who all voted in favor of the
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: Save America Act and not the senators who want to
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: just get along to go along. So here's the piece
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: I just penned. In a master's class on controlling the narrative,
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: the American left has so convincingly gaslit the political class
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: into believing that the Save America Act would be viewed
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: by their constituents as voter suppression, more GOP leaders are
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: creating more convoluted stories to justify why they oppose making
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: sure that only U.S. citizens vote in U.S. elections. The
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: most hysterical is Alaska's Senator Lisa Murkowski, who took the
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: floor of the Senate chamber to tell her colleagues that
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: if the SAVE Act passed, the residents of the remote
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: Aleutian community of Unalaska would be forced to fly roughly
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: 800 air miles to Anchorage to obtain an ID, citing
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: costs of $ 1, 100 to $ 1, 300 for a one-way ticket, plus
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: lodging and transport. So specific was this that in his
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: latest undercover video, James O'Keefe flew to Unalaska where he
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: visited the Unalaska DMV public library city hall post office
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: and all said that all you had to do was
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: come in and apply.
• 33:15
  Speaker 14: Wow.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: The only possibility one can imagine for this mistake must
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: be that when Senator Murkowski first went to Washington and
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: In 2002, when she succeeded her father, Frank, who was U.S.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Senator since 1981, there might not have been all those
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: modern conveniences there. So now, as Virginia gets ready to
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: begin our next 45-day excursion into early voting and lower
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: voter turnout and the midterms loom, Virginia's House incumbents all
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: voted in favor of it. even the ones in tight
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: re-election contests like Jen Kagan's. Our senators promise support of
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: the zombie filibuster, the one that no one needs to
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: hold the floor for a speech, just call the cloture vote.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: So it sits short of the 60 votes needed to
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: move to the full Senate. One of those senators is
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: Mark Warner, who in his own re-election race with Major
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: General Burt Mississauga Senator Warner made this his official position
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: on the plan by way of a joint statement issued
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: with Senator Tim Kaine. Quote, If signed into law, the
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: Save America Act would strip millions of Americans their ability
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: to vote by imposing unnecessary and burdensome identification requirements. Those
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: must be the same ones Senator Murkowski was talking about.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: Note that he doesn't say United States citizens. Gotta love
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: it when the lawyers edit the copy to keep it truthy. Oddly,
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: when you ask Google about General Misusawa's position, it links
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: you to only one article while saying he does not
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: have a clear position on the plan. I'll explain why
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: this is important in a moment. That article, ironically, was
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: written by me for this publication, meaning the Daily Signal.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: This result struck me as odd because I'm a pretty
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: good authority on what I write most times. And from
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: the article had this quote from Burt. Yes, I would
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: ask Majority Leader John Thune to change the Senate rules,
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: get rid of the filibuster. The SAVE Act is so
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: essential for democracy. We need to get that through. And
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: then if he can change the rules back, fine. But
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: let's get it through now. Let's get all the black
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: and white issues passed. So I'm a big proponent of
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: doing that. Sounds specific to me. While I appreciate the
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: top spot in the search results, I think that the
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: Gemini summary is a serious instance of election interference because
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: given GOP activists, and Ham, believe it or not, I
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: was thinking about you when I wrote this line, given
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: GOP activists feeling on senators like Murkowski, making the general
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: appear to be dodging the issue, could cost him just
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: enough votes to swing an election that may struggle to
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: pass 50% voter turnout. The last time Mark Warner faced
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: re-election in a mid-turn only cycle was 2014, and he
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: won by only 17,000 votes, far fewer than the 300,000
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: that Governor Spanberger alluded to during her speech at the
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: Voting Rights Rally in D.C. So you see, even Gemini
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: is trying to make you think that people like Burt Missisawa,
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: a Republican in Virginia, doesn't have anything on the Save
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: America Act, which is, oh, there's a word for this. It's, oh,
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: it's one of the, it's not, well, I guess it
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: could be a hashtag. Oh, yeah, lie. So Gemini is,
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: in your search results, telling you that Burt Missisawa has
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: no position on the SAVE Act, and then references an
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: article in which he very clearly quotes having a fairly
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: strong position on it, is vote suppression because many people
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: aren't going to take the time after seeing Gemini tell them,
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Burt Missisawa doesn't care, or insert name of Senate candidate.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: or House candidate. If they make you think that they
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: don't care, you'll stay home rather than vote for them.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: We'll teach these guys a lesson. We'll let more people
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: like Zorhan Mamdani into the government, because that's what will
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: wind up happening.

  Speaker 14: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:08
  Speaker 14: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13
  Speaker 14: I'm Dr.
• 39:14
  Speaker 15: Mitch.
• 39:15
  Speaker 14: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 39:20
  Speaker 14: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 39:25
  Speaker 14: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 39:29
  Speaker 14: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 39:33
  Speaker 14: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 39:40
  Speaker 14: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
• 39:44
  Speaker 14: least slow the spread of cancer. and in many instances,
• 39:47
  Speaker 14: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

  Speaker 24: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy
• 41:01
  Speaker 24: growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
• 41:04
  Speaker 24: with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
• 41:06
  Speaker 24: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
• 41:09
  Speaker 24: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
• 41:12
  Speaker 24: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
• 41:15
  Speaker 24: or penguins who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 41:18
  Speaker 24: food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump
• 41:21
  Speaker 24: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 41:23
  Speaker 24: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
• 41:26
  Speaker 24: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
• 41:29
  Speaker 24: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 41:32
  Speaker 24: they also perform life-saving work every day Dogs keep us
• 41:36
  Speaker 24: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 41:38
  Speaker 24: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 41:41
  Speaker 24: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 41:44
  Speaker 24: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
• 41:47
  Speaker 24: and help those in need. So please join me and
• 41:50

• 41:53
  Speaker 24: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go

  Speaker 16: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 42:18
  Speaker 16: somebody call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: Love that guy.
• 42:21
  Speaker 7: Me too.

  Speaker 2: First thing today by joe thomas on the talk media
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: network Our demographic profile is everyone.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, what do you like to
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: see in a listener, Joe? Ears, how about that? We'll
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: start with ears and go from there. This email comes
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: in from Mary. Mary listening to us this morning up
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: in Fairbanks. She said, loved the... Rip on Senator Murkowski.
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: I had no idea she inherited that Senate seat from
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: her father. How old was she when he went into
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: the Senate? She was 24, Mary. The year that maybe
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: her dad, who, by the way, left the U.S. Senate
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: not because of age, but because he wanted to be
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: governor of the state of Murkowski. So, I mean, you
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: want to understand why Lisa Murkowski can make you, you know,
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: rank choice vote and why Lisa Murkowski can, you know,
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: run the Trump administration ragged. It's because basically politically her
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: family has owned Alaska politically. I mean, it's one of
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: those political names that nobody can remember there not being
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: a Murkowski involved in Alaskan politics. But this Dean writes
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: in to 434-882-4217. Joe, wasn't the expression one of the
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: self-help gurus had was the secret to getting good answers
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: as asking good questions? What did you ask Gemini to
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: get a result that said Burt Mizuzawa had no position
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: on the SAVE Act, question mark? Well, I decided because
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: I wanted to play fast and loose with truthiness, this
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: was the question I asked Gemini. What is Burt Misazawa's
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: position on the Save America Act? I know, I know,
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: it's typical media wiles. You know, I want to set
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: him up to make him look bad. Yeah, so that
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: was that opaque statement. tortured question that I asked Gemini
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: that gave me no results on what Burt Misazawa's stand is.
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: But the real irony is that they referred to an
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: article I wrote in which he very clearly states what
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: his position is on the SAVE Act and the filibuster
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: and all of this. Sad. It's sad. I mean, it
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: really is. I get your point. I mean, I could
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: have been one of those typical media types and asked Gemini... hey,
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: what shoe size is Burt Missisawa when it refers to
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: the SAVE Act? And then, of course, nothing would have
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: come up and I could report on it. But no, no, no.
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: The question was, what is Burt Missisawa's position on the
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: SAVE America Act? And I thought it was funny because
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: the first link that comes up was my article about
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: it in which he very clearly states a position on it.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: And yet it still said, nah, I can't find anything.
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: It's like Bugs Bunny and the mobsters in the oven.
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: Would I hide my friend Bugsy in here if the
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: gas was lit? Oh, you might, rabbit, you might. Let
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: me get to you at 434-882-4217. Good morning. You're on
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: the air with Joe. First thing this morning, who's this?
• 48:07
  Speaker 16: Hey, Joe.
• 48:09
  Speaker 7: Good morning.
• 48:10
  Speaker 22: It's Joel.
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: Hey, Joel. How are you doing this morning, sir?
• 48:14
  Speaker 22: I'm doing okay. I was just thinking about a lot
• 48:17
  Speaker 22: of different things. Why do we still have a UN?
• 48:20
  Speaker 22: Because it seems like the UN prognosticates or prevaricates to
• 48:31
  Speaker 22: try to instigate. And a lot of those European countries
• 48:36
  Speaker 22: and even those other countries that aren't European, I don't
• 48:39
  Speaker 22: know if it's a matter of jealousy or if it's
• 48:42
  Speaker 22: a matter of of, of keeping their standard, you know,
• 48:46
  Speaker 22: not having the, it, and it all, it all involves tariffs.
• 48:52
  Speaker 22: It all involves, uh, I guess, security, uh, agreements with,
• 48:57
  Speaker 22: with the U S and money. The biggest thing is
• 48:59
  Speaker 22: money and, and they don't want to see their Euro
• 49:02
  Speaker 22: go down, but who, who, who are the, who's the
• 49:06
  Speaker 22: biggest influence in the world besides China and the United
• 49:10
  Speaker 22: States or United States and China?
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, here's a couple of things. To begin with,
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: your existential question is, why do we need the U.N.
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: The U.N. was founded to keep wars from happening. And
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: as far as I can tell, you know, yeah, that's
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: not working out very well, is it, Joel? So their
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: main focus was to keep us from having wars. and
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: that hasn't worked. It's become a cudgel. It's become really
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: just a devolved weapon between the Soviet Union, China, and
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: the United States, any one of them just vetoing anything
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: the other person wants to do, because it's not a government.
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: It doesn't have the power of being able to enact
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: regulations or anything like that. It can issue statements. It
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: can say, here's what we prefer. And they'll set up
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: these working groups that will create legislation or regulation over trade.
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: But in every instance, what they do is retardant and
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: continues to make it harder to do international trade. It
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: makes it harder to do international peace negotiations or trade negotiations.
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: Trump's proven that. He just goes to the guy and says, hey,
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: never mind the guys that park illegally in New York.
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: You and me, let's chat. And so, of course, you're
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: going to be left there with the question, why the UN?
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: Because we have to look like we have the UN.
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: What did Jefferson say? Experience hath shown that people are
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: inclined to keep the systems that they're accustomed to, even
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: if they fail them miserably. And that's where we are
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: with things like the UN. We don't want to get
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: rid of it. Oh, my God. Can you imagine a
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: world without the UN? Well, yeah, actually, I could imagine
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: a world without the UN. Give me a few minutes.
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: And so I really think that we have a serious
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: issue with being able to investigate and to look into
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: all these things, as Jefferson said, that we've grown accustomed
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: to and just accept on their face. Joel? George Soros. Oh,
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry. George Soros. Yeah, that's the first word out
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: of his mouth, George Soros.
• 51:55
  Speaker 22: Okay, no, no, George Soros and all these other anti-American,
• 52:00
  Speaker 22: anti-capitalist I believe they're influencing a lot of these countries, too,
• 52:07
  Speaker 22: and the U.N.
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 52:09
  Speaker 22: Why can't President Trump get in front of the U.N.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: And speak?
• 52:13
  Speaker 22: I mean, has he ever done that?
• 52:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, he's done. He's actually had some fairly good
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: speeches to the U.N. But for the most part, Trump's
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: attitude towards the U.N. is it's a necessary nuisance.
• 52:26
  Speaker 7: Exactly.
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: And so, you know, he... He will stick a needle
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: into China if they need it or into Russia if
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: they need it. But for the most part, he realizes
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: that it's more of an impediment than it is anything else.
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: You have a good morning, Joel. Thank you, sir.
• 52:42
  Speaker 19: You too.
