  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, what? Yeah, I wasn't listening.
• 0:15
  Speaker 5: Oh, oh. I see it.
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: He works at a steel mill.
• 0:19
  Speaker 6: He's down here every day.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:25
  Speaker 7: Drops a kid to school in the long way.
• 0:28
  Speaker 8: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:33
  Speaker 9: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:37
  Speaker 10: He only ends the page here.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: I'll never be your Joe. I got you. I got you.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: I got you with your mouth open.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I'll never be your.
• 0:49
  Speaker 11: Joe.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: this morning. 434-882-4217 is the phone number. I'll tell you
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: what went on last night.
• 0:59
  Speaker 12: Hey, Kevin?
• 1:00
  Speaker 13: Kevin?
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: Kevin? I want to get Kevin over here because we
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: keep talking about starting your own city elders group, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: he's standing right here because he's offered. People listen to me,
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: and it's always smart of people not to believe just
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: everything I said. It's a packed house here. What did
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Roy Scheider once say? You're going to need a bigger boat.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: It's common ground where we are in Fishersville. It's packed
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: full of folks. here for City Elders Meeting, a group
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: of folks who are trying to put ethical people back
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: into our town governments, our state governments, our city governments.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Eight states so far live in large with City Elders chapters,
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: changing the paradigm. Someday we'll have all 50 states there,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: but it's super easy to start a chapter. If you
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: don't have one in your neighborhood and you go to cityelders.org
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: and you can look up and see if there's a
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: chapter near you already. If there's not, you can start
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: one because you'd be amazed at how many of your
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: neighbors want this already. And Kevin has said, all you
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: have to do is email him here at our local chapter,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: kevin at cityeldersva.org and he'll tell you all about it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: And he started up this one here. We'll get back,
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Bob Good, Good for America, You and Me, the shooting
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: in Bend, Oregon, the latest, the assaults, or the field
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: is being set for investigations into who this Samaritan was.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: And I always worry about that. They're more interested in
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: broadcasting details about the Samaritan that went into this school
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: in Bend, Oregon and stopped this shooting before it became
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: even more horrific. than they are in finding out who
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: the 16-year-old was and why his last good marble was
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: wrested from his hand. Also, we'll talk a little bit
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: more about this crisis, if you will. People in my industry,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: we love to bandy about phrases like, crisis in the
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Oval Office, that kind of crap. that's designed to make
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: you go, oh, I better listen. There's crisis in the
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: overall office. This issue with the Eric Dieter. And there
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: are several folks in the email saying that I'm wrong
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: to prejudge the story. And prejudging, you know, does involve
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: a certain amount of judgment. But, yes, I agree. You know,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: you shouldn't prejudge a situation. So here are our first
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: things today. This Friday morning, President Trump announced that the
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: execution of Nidal Hassan will go on as scheduled, but
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: will not be live-streamed. He also invoked executive privilege over
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: documents and communications that are being sought in the lawsuit
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: challenging his management of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: He has also denied this report born of of the
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Kimberly Guilfoyle crisis and controversy that he was getting ready
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: to replace White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. Politico
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: picked up this Eric Dieter's video in which he says
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: she will be brought down along with J.D. Vance and
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Marco Rubio.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: U.S.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Health officials are moving ahead with a plan to allow
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: certain specialty pharmacies to produce peptide medications like the ones
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: that you inject once a month, these ones that would
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: help cure people's appetites and help them lose weight. Federal
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: authorities are investigating letters marked potentially hazardous that have been
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: mailed to congressional offices as well as election headquarters around
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: the country. Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, had a phone
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: conversation with Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, regarding
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Iran and what comes next. Broadcasters in Israel showing that
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: they have the same ability that American broadcasters have to
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: kind of hypothesize on the fly are saying that this
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: is about upgrading and perhaps making more attacks on Iran.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Three children... Aged 5, 8, and 11 are dead this morning,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: as is a 54-year-old teacher from an elementary school in Bend, Oregon.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: The 16-year-old assailant is also deceased after a good Samaritan
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: going by the facility heard the ruckus and ran towards
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: the shooting. A passerby also was shot at. as they
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: drove by in their car. And in that car, they
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: were shot at and then called police. Police said they
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: were on the scene within three minutes of the first
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: shots and the first calls being sent in. And Pope
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Leo is feeling much better. According to his doctor, his
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: recovery is happening just the way they expected it to.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: And those are some of our first things this morning. JCSGold.com,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: that is our gold sponsor. Everyone, it's like admission price
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: for talk radio, but this is a family business that
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: you can get advice from if you call them at 434-979-2646.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: That's 434-979-COIN. They can tell you that gold is up
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: about $ 5, $ 4. 50 to $ 4, 175. 58, and that's just on their website.
• 7:01
  Speaker 14: Let's see, if something costs less, a lot less, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 14: people are actually happier with it, that sounds like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 14: to look into.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: And that's MediShare.
• 7:10
  Speaker 14: Maybe you've heard joining MediShare can save you or your
• 7:12
  Speaker 14: family up to $ 500 a month.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: And that's huge. But it's also true.
• 7:16
  Speaker 14: People are just happier with it. They love being part
• 7:19
  Speaker 14: of something that reflects and promotes their values and what
• 7:22
  Speaker 14: they believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: MediShare works, too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 14: It's been around for 30 years now, and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 14: shared more than $ 7 billion of each other's bills. People
• 7:31
  Speaker 14: love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network. So, yeah, really,
• 7:36
  Speaker 14: you can save a ton and like it better. Imagine
• 7:38
  Speaker 14: being happy with how you're taking care of your health care,
• 7:41
  Speaker 14: whether you're self-employed or part of the gig economy, or
• 7:43
  Speaker 14: you just want a plan that you're happy with.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Here you go.
• 7:46
  Speaker 14: You can call right now and get a price within
• 7:48
  Speaker 14: two minutes. A very, very smart use of two minutes.
• 7:51
  Speaker 14: Here's the number you need.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: It's 855-SHARE-40.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: 855-S-H-A-R-E-40.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: 855-SHARE-40.
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 11: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 15: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 15: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 15: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 15: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:17
  Speaker 15: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 15: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 15: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 15: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 15: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 15: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 15: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 15: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 15: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 10: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 10: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 10: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:18
  Speaker 10: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 10: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 10: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 10: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
• 10:33
  Speaker 10: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 10: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 10: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 10: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 10: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:48
  Speaker 10: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 10: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 10: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 16: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 17: And now a speech. I just want to say that
• 11:08
  Speaker 17: friendship is about heart. Heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 10: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: somebody call me a ride. Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 18: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 19: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 19: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:29
  Speaker 12: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 12: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 12: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 12: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 12: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 12: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 12: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors.
• 11:54
  Speaker 12: Check ducts for holes and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 12: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 12: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 12: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:08
  Speaker 12: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 12: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 12: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18
  Speaker 12: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.
• 12:24
  Speaker 12: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 12: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 20: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 20: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 20: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 20: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:44
  Speaker 21: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:49
  Speaker 21: at MakeTheConnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
• 12:53
  Speaker 21: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Our friend Bob Good on with us. Good for America
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: is his podcast. Latest out of Oregon as morning begins
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: to settle in their police and such gathering and trying
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: to get more information and share what they can with
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: the press without harming the investigation itself. The shooting at
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Silver Rail Elementary School. It started about 1 o'clock in
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: the afternoon, stopped just minutes later by a neighbor, a
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: community member who followed the gunman into the building. So
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: the story as it lays out was the young man,
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: the 16-year-old, used his rifle to shoot his way through
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: a locked door. That drew the attention of a passerby
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: in their car, and they... They called 911 and were
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: shot at for it. The 16-year-old, aware enough, seeing a
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: car on the road, took a shot at that. This
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: drew the attention of a civilian nearby who was a
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: licensed gun owner and a concealed carry permit holder, followed
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: the assailant into the school and stopped him before he
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: could kill some more. The dead are 5, 8, and 11,
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: according to.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: To the police chief, a seven-year-old child and another teacher
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: are currently in the hospital with critical injuries. Governor Tina
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Kotek said the bystanders' actions were heroic and prevented further
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: loss of life, and I'm sure that was very awkward
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: for her, being an outspoken opponent of gun ownership. Bob Good,
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: As I mentioned on with Bob, more to talk about,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: lots of things to talk about with you, Bob. And
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: I appreciate your thoughts on this shooting effort. So, Bob,
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: you were saying that you advocated for arming school personnel.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: And if I remember correctly, the county, your supervisor in
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Campbell County passed that, didn't they?
• 15:40
  Speaker 18: No, but the county administrator admitted. I was on the
• 15:43
  Speaker 18: county board, a county supervisor in Campbell County outside Lynchburg
• 15:46
  Speaker 18: 10 years ago. And the county administrator, he's retired now,
• 15:49
  Speaker 18: so I can say this, but he agreed with me
• 15:52
  Speaker 18: privately and said, hey, we need to look at that.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: We need to really consider that.
• 15:56
  Speaker 18: But I was the only supervisor advocating for it publicly.
• 15:59
  Speaker 18: But if you had a trained rapid response team, concealed
• 16:04
  Speaker 18: carry team, where people didn't know publicly who the individuals were,
• 16:09
  Speaker 18: but those who wanted to be trained, those who wanted
• 16:12
  Speaker 18: to conceal carries, where they could quickly respond, within those
• 16:14
  Speaker 18: three minutes that the great Law enforcement in Oregon responded
• 16:19
  Speaker 18: in the latest shooting within three minutes, which is incredible.
• 16:21
  Speaker 18: They were there that quickly, but those were an essential
• 16:23
  Speaker 18: three minutes. So in addition to a couple of uniformed
• 16:27
  Speaker 18: SRO officers, if you had trained personnel in the building
• 16:30
  Speaker 18: that could respond to defend themselves, their coworkers, their fellow teachers,
• 16:34
  Speaker 18: and most importantly, those children, schools would be a much
• 16:37
  Speaker 18: safer place.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: And you see some of it, some school districts, they're
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: learning and they're teaching kids, you know, what to do
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: when things go sideways, not pretending like they're never going
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: to go sideways. And I think that's one of the
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: things that we do our children a disservice by thinking
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: they're not, I don't know, savvy enough, Bob, to understand
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: what to do when things don't go right and they
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: wind up having to defend themselves in some way, shape,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: or form. Good morning. Good morning. So what is coming
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: up this week on Good for America?
• 17:19
  Speaker 18: Well, we're probably going to talk about this issue a
• 17:21
  Speaker 18: little bit, the gun issue, but we're also going to
• 17:23
  Speaker 18: talk about the midterms and President Trump's travels and how
• 17:27
  Speaker 18: it looks for the Senate and the House, but no shortage.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Of things to talk about. I'm curious because I've given
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: my analysis of this Eric Dieters story and the Kimberly
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Guilfoyle because once Eric Dieters put videos up on Facebook,
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: He really started to remind me of the agitator that
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: made the Unite the Right rallies in Charlottesville. I'm not
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: sold that this guy is who he says he is.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: And now he's claiming he's going to bring down Susie
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Wiles and Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance and all of that.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Have you had enough time with this guy or watching
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: his videos or consuming what he's saying about these folks
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: who surround President Trump to have an opinion on him?
• 18:12
  Speaker 18: No, I don't know a lot about Dieters in particular.
• 18:17
  Speaker 18: It does, I think we have to, honesty would require
• 18:21
  Speaker 18: us to acknowledge and admit that it does seem as
• 18:24
  Speaker 18: if in this administration there is a new degree or
• 18:26
  Speaker 18: a new level of rifting off opportunities within the federal government.
• 18:32
  Speaker 18: I mean, the Trump family has basically said, hey, we
• 18:35
  Speaker 18: were careful not to have the appearance of that in
• 18:37
  Speaker 18: the first term, and then we got accused of anyway,
• 18:40
  Speaker 18: so heck, we're not even going to pretend now. So
• 18:43
  Speaker 18: whether it's Witkoff, whether it's Kushner, whether it's the Trump
• 18:46
  Speaker 18: sons or their friends and allies, I mean, they seem
• 18:50
  Speaker 18: to be mixing diplomacy and international affairs, if you will,
• 18:56
  Speaker 18: with business deals and so forth. And I think Kimberly
• 18:59
  Speaker 18: Guilfoyle apparently embarrassed the administration, embarrassed the family, and went
• 19:03
  Speaker 18: too far, publicly at least, with all these text messages
• 19:07
  Speaker 18: and so forth and got herself in trouble.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Last question, Fort Hood. murderer Nidal Hassan not going to
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: be live streamed. You're OK with that. I know the
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: family members.
• 19:16
  Speaker 18: Yeah, I would, of course, would not watch that. I
• 19:19
  Speaker 18: don't think that helps us to put that on display.
• 19:22
  Speaker 18: I'm all for capital punishment when warranted. And I don't
• 19:25
  Speaker 18: think it'll take so long to do it like it
• 19:28
  Speaker 18: takes right now in our culture, in our society, in
• 19:30
  Speaker 18: our justice system. But I don't think it was a
• 19:33
  Speaker 18: good thing when it was talked about being live streamed.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Goodforamerica.org. Tune in. And when is the episode? It's Wednesday, right?
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Or is it Tuesday?
• 19:42
  Speaker 18: Typically, we'll put it out Wednesday. Sometimes we do a
• 19:44
  Speaker 18: couple episodes. We might do them on a Tuesday and Thursday.
• 19:46
  Speaker 18: So there's not a definitive exact rhythm. It just kind
• 19:49
  Speaker 18: of depends on the week.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: All right. Well, make sure you're downloading it. Goodforamerica.org. Bob,
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: always an honor. You make me six inches taller and
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: a better dancer for your consults. And you have a
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: wonderful morning, sir. Have a great weekend.
• 20:01
  Speaker 13: Thanks, Joe.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: Great to be with you. You as well with us
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: at 434-882-7000. 4-2-1-7, coming at you from our City Elders meeting.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Each week they get together here, but that's no inclination.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: You're thinking, well, maybe I want to start one here
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: in San Bernardino or Salem, Oregon, by all means. But
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: you don't have to meet once a week. This group
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: meets once a week, so it's a chance for me
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: to come watch the sunrise because my studio's in a
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: basement and we have windows. But, you know, you become
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: aware that the sun has risen. Not the sun has risen.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: That's for Easter. But the sun in the sky has
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: climbed to a point of impacting the world, if you will.
• 20:51
  Speaker 19: But.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: When you're out on a location like we're here, or
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: when we go to some of these events like Freedom Fest,
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: we're debating whether there's anything you can get from the
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Consumer Electronics Show and Lost Wages. There it's a little
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: harder because the sun doesn't come up until long after
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: our show is finished in Las Vegas time, or it's
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: just coming up as we're finishing up here. But the
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: sunrise is incredible, and I get out and I get
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: to watch it there. But when we come back, I
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: want to get into, oh, text message already. Bob doesn't
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: seem like he agrees with you. Why didn't you debate
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: with him? Because he's allowed to have his opinion, and
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: I've got my analysis of the situation, and they can
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: be different. And also, there's no time for that kind
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: of thing. I got a minute and a half, and
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: this is another question people are all, why do you
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: always take these breaks? Because people need to know the
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: news and the weather and the traffic. And so we
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: take breaks so you can get the news and the
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: weather and the traffic so you can get your day started.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: I've looked at the numbers. More people listen to morning
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: radio than podcasts that go on.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Hey, guys.
• 22:02
  Speaker 22: I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness. And

• 22:08
  Speaker 22: least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity every day. in
• 22:11
  Speaker 22: a week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes
• 22:14
  Speaker 22: does not need to be super intense. As a matter
• 22:17
  Speaker 22: of fact, it could just be you moving your body
• 22:19
  Speaker 22: and doing what you already love to do, like exercise.
• 22:22
  Speaker 22: And a stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right? It
• 22:25
  Speaker 22: means also infusing your workout routines with strength training as well.

  Speaker 23: For decades, America's offshore oil industry has relied on Port Fouchon, Louisiana.

  Speaker 7: Considered by most, Optimized Curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer. or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

• 26:26
  Speaker 12: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:30
  Speaker 12: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 12: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:37
  Speaker 12: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:40

• 26:53
  Speaker 12: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 12: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:59

  Speaker 3: News and analysis, now without artificial colors. First Thing Today
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:19
  Speaker 13: I don't need much.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Joker on Jack.
• 28:22
  Speaker 21: Match on a fire.
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: I hear some dead man's touch.
• 28:26
  Speaker 15: Whisper on the screen.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: Watch me do this. My hands will never leave my
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: body while I commit this next act of magicry and wizarding.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: Bob in Moscow, who grew up in Bobbitts. He's really
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: Bob from Wisconsin and by way of Chicago. is on
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: the phone with us, and apparently I triggered him a
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: little bit during the sports, and I want to first
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: fix his misunderstandification, but then watch the prestidigitation that I
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: will do right before your very ears, Bob. But first off,
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: what did you think you heard me say during the
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: sports last hour?
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Well, when you were talking about the sportscaster, you were.
• 29:28
  Speaker 11: Talking about that no one wants.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Cleveland.
• 29:36
  Speaker 11: I'm curious because of the attendance. but Milwaukee sold out
• 29:43
  Speaker 11: every single playoff.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: You know, the point I was making is Major League
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: Baseball and their TV contract is not what They're the
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: ones who want L.A. versus New York or Chicago versus
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: Atlanta all the time. They want these major markets so
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: they can get the big TV money and that Chrysler
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: is going to have to or Stellantis or whoever is
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: going to have to pay more. But also follow me
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: on this because this is part and parcel. And watch
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: me turn this into a societal discussion. This is the
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: problem with our body, you know, governmental, our body, societal, Bob.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: is the, quote, flyover country attitude that Milwaukee and Chicago
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: and Kansas City and these places are not, you know,
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: part of, you know, the left's America because these are
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: people who, you know, put on their flannel shirt, put
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: on their work boots, their red wings, and get to
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: work each morning versus the ones who sit there and
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: try to dream up what their next podcast is going
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: to be about.
• 30:51
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: One, three, I would just.
• 30:55
  Speaker 11: The small markets, smaller states, Midwest, always get looked over,
• 31:02
  Speaker 11: including in Minnesota, for as much as I hate Minnesota.
• 31:05
  Speaker 11: But if you look at the percentage of attendance versus population,
• 31:15
  Speaker 11: North always has one of the highest in Minnesota.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, and this is what baseball's losing. It's a
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: metaphor for everything, but baseball announced that part of this
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: off-season negotiations for their new collective bargaining agreement is going
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: to be a national broadcast agreement. No more local TV
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: and radio stations are all going to have to plug
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: into the national feeds of these games, and they're going
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: to try to take away... the locality of it. Uh, I'm,
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: you know, and I say this as an affiliate of
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: the Washington nationals, my flagship station, uh, is, um, I
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: wonder if I'm going to be allowed to, because our
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: city is technically outside of this mystical 100 mile range. Um,
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: the NFL won't, you know, I got grandfathered in the
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: NFL won't let you affiliate with a team that's more
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: than a hundred miles away. And you'll have to take
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: national feeds. Now I was a, commander's affiliate on my
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: flagship station before that rule went into place but this
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: is this genericization of it this is the the the
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: everyone's going to the big city you know nobody is
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: going to the small towns uh and it's just it's
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: tearing this country apart because they want you looking into
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: new york and la and and these places not into
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: milwaukee or green bay or kansas city or.
• 32:44
  Speaker 11: They don't They don't want people traveling there. My solution
• 32:50
  Speaker 11: is when you do the collective bargaining and everything else,
• 32:53
  Speaker 11: that every single baseball team, anything with the NFL, they
• 32:58
  Speaker 11: get full share of the money.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: That may be part of it. Our phone connection, the
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: GRU tap on our phone conversation out there in Moscow
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: is chopping it up, Bob. I'm going to have to Say,
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: have a great weekend, sir. Always good to hear from you.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: That's for people who hear me calling Bob in Moscow,
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: and they're like, he doesn't have a Russian accent. No,
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: he's Bob from Chicago and Milwaukee, and that's his background there.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: A couple of text messages on the shooting in Oregon.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: This Ivan writes in from Oregon. Sounds like the 16-year-old
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: shooter's marbles were flat. And he mentioned that the shooter
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: violated the gun-free school zone. I think we've talked about
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: it a little bit, Yvonne. How about organizing a give-send-go
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: campaign for the hero's legal defense? Sounds like he's going
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: to need it. Oh, and howdy there. John Myers writes
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: in from Virginia. My guess is the 16-year-old that shot
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: those kids and the teacher was on some sort of
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: mind-altering substance. And let's not forget an armed citizen stopped
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: further carnage. And this is why I warned you earlier.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: The media is more interested in who this Samaritan was
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: than who the shooter, who the assailant is. And I
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: warned you that this is going to, because it's Oregon especially,
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: they're going to pull out all the stops to pull
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: out anything they can that's not sanctified about this person.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: They will find some posts They'll go, oh, he went
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: to a Trump rally, or he's an Oath Keeper. Oath
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Keepers are all former law enforcement and military people. Just
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: because they got character assassination over the 2016 and 2020 elections,
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: it doesn't change the fact that the Oath Keepers as
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: an organization isn't some Hell's Angel franchise. This was a
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: bunch of former law enforcement people, of course. The left
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: doesn't like law enforcement anyway. Scott in Virginia Beach writes in,
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: after Columbine, I started looking into school shootings. The one
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: common denominator was antidepressants. This kind of goes with what
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: John was saying about mind-altering substance. The usual suspects want
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: to blame the guns so they can disarm the populace.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: Why don't they blame the antidepressants? Antidepressants are an inanimate object, right?
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: Zoloft doesn't vote. Oh, but yes, the company that makes
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Zoloft votes with their campaign contributions. Scott goes on to say,
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: I would like to see more scrutiny of the psychological professionals.
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: Almost all of the recent mass shootings involve trans individuals, too.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: If that comes out in this case, I wouldn't be
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: a surprise. Sorry for rambling. No, never. We have four
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: hours if I don't have time for something. It's usually
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: just because there's a break coming up, which there is.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: But Ellen of Troy says all they want to tell
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: you as the 16-year-old is that his mom bought the shotgun,
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: not whether for her or him. This is like Connecticut Park,
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: where the kid actually used his mother's guns to kill
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: his mother and then went to the school. It still
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: comes down to they're more interested in who this neighbor
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: was and, you know, who they went in. And I
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: will be the first to tell you, if there was
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: some reason this guy was following him, that's fine. Let
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: the police, but the press is out there all over
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: this story. Like you said, Ellen, bringing up, you know,
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: that his mom bought the shotgun or the rifle. I
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: think it was a rifle that he was shooting at
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: the door with. And that's going to be the narrative.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: Who's this Samaritan and what gives him the right? Because Kotak,
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: the governor, doesn't want... It's bad enough she didn't burst
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: into flames at the moment calling him a hero. It's
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: bad enough a gun owner was a hero? Concealed carry
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: permit holder was a hero? Governor Kotak may burst into
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: flames yet. Have we checked on her? A welfare check
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: on Governor Kotak just to see if she's burst into
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: flames or collapsed under the weight of such honest depiction
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: of a scenario. Good morning, Joe. This one comes in
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: from Virginia. Oregon shooter reminds me of a saying that
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: I really like when seconds matter, the police are only
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: minutes away.
• 37:49
  Speaker 19: Yep.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: And we brought that up earlier in the program that,
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: you know, in this case, the police were called almost immediately.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: They were there in three minutes, but that's still three minutes.
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44

  Speaker 17: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 17: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 17: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:14
  Speaker 16: Oh, yes!
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: Yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 9: Yes!

  Speaker 17: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 21: Shh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: Do you smell that?

  Speaker 17: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.

  Speaker 25: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 25: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 25: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 25: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 25: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 25: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 25: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  Speaker 25: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 25: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 25: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

• 44:16
  Speaker 3: Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: Talk Media Network. Hey, hey, can you stop playing with
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: the knob?
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: Leave the knob alone.
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: Come on, just tune it in. Leave it be.
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: That's better.
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: You've found us now, so stay there. First thing today,
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: thank you for letting me be of service. I'm still here,
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: just no D's anymore. The other day I was talking
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: to my wife about brothers that had fallen out in
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: the music world, whether it's Creedence Clearwater Revival or The
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: Kinks or Oasis. Every generation, you know, brothers that just stopped.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: You know, Ann and Nancy Wilson, I think, was what
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: brought up the subject. Their siblings and their music. Text
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: message here. Joe, easy for you to say, I guarantee
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: you as soon as you get an LA affiliate or
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: a New York affiliate, you'll start talking about LA and
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: New York all the time. Hashtag hypocrites in radio. Well,
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: of course, this is an unprovable argument. You're saying that
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: I will ignore Colorado Springs and Supertalk 1040 if I'm
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: on the air in New York? You think that I'm
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: not going to talk about KHMO and 1070 in Hannibal
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: or 930 The Answer, Freedom 970 in Portland, KFIR in Salem?
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: I'm just going to abandon you there? Our new friends
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: in Martinsburg and Valdosta, Georgia, Cleveland, Tennessee, BAC there? I
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: am about flyover country. I'm from flyover country. I'm from
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: Stanton and Charlottesville, Virginia. We're the ultimate in flyover country,
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: except for Charlottesville, who just likes to set themselves on
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: fire so that he can get some notoriety on TV. Dr.
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: Clark is hanging on the line with us. Good morning, Dr.
• 46:48
  Speaker 19: Clark.
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: What's on your mind, sir, down there in Alabama? More
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: flyover country.
• 46:53
  Speaker 27: Yeah, so.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: I live in the flyover. And here's the thing, Joe.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: We are readying up. We have constitutional carry.
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: Okay. Just because you're there, you can have a gun
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: and carry it.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: When you get to our state line, they'll stop you.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: And do you have firearms in the vehicle?
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: No?
• 47:15
  Speaker 11: Why not?
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Here, take one of these.
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: It's when they open the trunk and there's like, you
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: want to borrow one of ours while you're here?
• 47:23
  Speaker 14: No.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Our stake motto is we dare defend our right.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: And it is interesting, Joe, because, you know, you'd.
• 47:34
  Speaker 13: Be walking around in Walmart, and I don't know, up
• 47:37
  Speaker 13: to 25% of the people in there are open carrying.
• 47:43
  Speaker 13: I prefer a high white and quality shirt. It kind
• 47:46
  Speaker 13: of gives off that Magnum PI vibe.
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: And I find that I could have two Mach 11s,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: an MP5.
• 47:56
  Speaker 13: And the Colt commander underneath the Hawaiian clarity shirt, you
• 47:59
  Speaker 13: can't tell.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: So there's that.
• 48:02
  Speaker 13: Now, you know, I do see people from time to
• 48:05
  Speaker 13: time and, hey, partner, why don't we put your bullet
• 48:09
  Speaker 13: in your pocket, okay?
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: But it does cut down on the monkey business. I
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: got to say, we don't have much.
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, here's the thing about, you know, these
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: school shootings, and we were talking about it earlier, and
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: the fixation on the gun. avoids the conversation about how
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: the kid, how a 16-year-old decides that this is how
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: things have to be. And that's to me, anyway, Mr.
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: Flyover Country Radio here, although our friends in San Antonio
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: and New Orleans and Norfolk would argue they're pretty decent sound.
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: But Mr. Flyover Country here, my belief is that something
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: made this 16-year-old want to kill people. And that's what
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: we should be talking about, not how he tried to
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: do it.
• 49:05
  Speaker 13: We need a pharmacist to find out, was he on
• 49:08
  Speaker 13: Adderall or Ritalin?
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 49:10
  Speaker 13: Or what kind of psychoactive drug was he on?
• 49:13
  Speaker 19: Sure.
• 49:13
  Speaker 13: And was he on some kind of hormone therapy?
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: That's the other question now. We're doing more things and
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: we're playing around with physiology. It's like everything Mary Shelley
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: warned us about in her little science fiction tome she wrote.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go.
• 49:29
  Speaker 27: So we talked the other day about the fact that,
• 49:33
  Speaker 27: you know, the giant investment conglomerates own the hospital, the pharma,
• 49:38
  Speaker 27: the insurance. They own most of the mainstream media too, Joe,
• 49:43
  Speaker 27: and if pharma is involved there, they're not going to
• 49:47
  Speaker 27: have one thing they own talk badly about another thing
• 49:50
  Speaker 27: they own.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: So there's that.
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, and this becomes the idea of these big
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: centralized– there's a rock and roll station in our flagship area.
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: It's from one of the big conglomerate radio groups, and
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: I've got to be careful because some of these radio
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: groups carry– this show on their station. And that's fine.
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: I'll treat your listeners like they're the king and queen.
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: The rest of the day, I don't know. And you
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: listen to the advertisers. And the advertisers are all this
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: insurance company, that medical plan, and you're waiting for the
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: car wash or the local used car dealer, and they're
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: not there. And that's bad, A, for your local business,
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: but it also... is bad for these companies. Every one
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: of these big national companies is losing money. Every quarter, iHeart, Cumulus, Saga,
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: you name it, they're all reporting 8%, 9%, 10% declines
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: in revenue. And they always blame it on downturns in listenership.
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: And I'll look, and 96% to 97% of the country
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: is listening to radio. So I don't know who's radio.
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: They must all be listening to this network.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: So let me explain that to you, Joe.
• 51:09
  Speaker 13: Broadcasting the narrative comes with a cost.
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, I see. So you have to check your soul
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: at the door.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and now here's what's interesting.
• 51:19
  Speaker 13: You know, in my day, I have got some kind
• 51:24
  Speaker 13: of conservative talk radio on. While I'm doing surgery, that's
• 51:29
  Speaker 13: while I'm farming, whatever.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: Now, here's the thing that's interesting.
• 51:34
  Speaker 13: And I used to say local versus national, but maybe
• 51:38
  Speaker 13: I ought to go independent versus corporate.
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: I'm down with that.
• 51:43
  Speaker 13: And, you know, well, you're on multiple stations through the
• 51:47
  Speaker 13: Internet and everything.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: Now, so maybe local is not as applicable.
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: But, I mean, what is local? What is local? I mean,
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: you know, is local.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's transition to independent. And here's the thing. Independent
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: talks about what it wants to talk about.
• 52:06
  Speaker 13: National slash corporate talks about what corporate says they're.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: Going to talk about.
• 52:12
  Speaker 13: And if you're listening to me and you doubt what
• 52:15
  Speaker 13: I'm saying, you pay attention to the stuff that gets
• 52:18
  Speaker 13: talked about on your local talk radio and listen to
• 52:23
  Speaker 13: the ads and then pay attention to what gets discussed
• 52:28
  Speaker 13: on the nationally syndicated shows. And their ads, the ads
• 52:32
  Speaker 13: are all the same, and they all talk about the
• 52:35
  Speaker 13: same subjects.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: And I find that kind of interesting.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: We've got the headlight at the end of the tunnel
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: is the oncoming top of the hour news, so we're
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: going to have to run for today. Clark, thank you, sir.
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: Thank you for what you do, that is listening. Till Monday,
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: so long, and thanks for all the fish. My name
