  Speaker 1: I mean, you got the first who is articulately bright
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: and clean and nice-looking guy.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a storybook, man.
• 0:11

• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: Your words set a steel meal, stem near every day.
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: this morning.
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: It has begun and a run through December. I know
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: here in the Mid-Atlantic, we had an actual September-like evening,
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: temperatures in the 50s. I know that our friends in Eloy,
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: Arizona are like, dude, 50s, really? I don't know. But
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: our Trans-Siberian Orchestra, win them before you can buy them.
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: You never hear that on talk radio. That's a rock
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: and roll radio trope. But you can win them before
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: you can buy them. Unless, of course, you're in the
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: Trans-Siberian Orchestra fan club and then you've already bought them.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Because they went on sale to the fan club on
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: Friday when they announced the 2026 30th anniversary tour for
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: Trans-Siberian Orchestra and my friends back out on the road.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: We're going to visit with Jeff Plate, one of the
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: founding members, a little bit later on this week. And
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: just back from a huge tour of Europe with the
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: band that became Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Sabotage. So we're going to
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: talk about all of that when he comes up. But
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: the 30th anniversary of TSO on the road for you
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: this year. And if you go to JoeThomasInTheMorning.com, there are
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: right at the top, right on the menu, it says
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Trans-Siberian Orchestra Ticket Giveaway. And we've got tickets to Youngstown,
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: Colorado Springs, Salt Lake City, Portland, Sacramento, Ontario, San Antonio, Dallas, Charlottesville, Jacksonville, Tampa, Chicago,
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: and Minneapolis. And you can enter to win any of them.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: They all correspond with great affiliates that we have. The
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: deal was struck before we signed on in West Virginia
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: or Las Vegas or upstate New York. So sorry for that, guys.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Next year, we'll be back next year for it. But
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: just get on there and enter. You don't have to
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: be a listener of those stations. Portland, you know, if
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: you're in Salem and you want to go to the
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Portland show, you know, I can't drive you. I can
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: give you the tickets, though. And so I appreciate that.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Our first things... This morning along the Talk Media network,
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: the Supreme Court has ruled against the Trump administration, capping
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: a series of last-minute legal actions, including a bunch of
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: Republican attorneys general and secretaries of state writing an amicus
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: brief begging the Supreme Court not to approve the administration's
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: plan to force states to verify their voter rolls before
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: using the U.S. Postal Service for ballot delivery. The decision
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: allows states to continue sending out mail ballots as they
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: already had started. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: from the order. Senator Mitch McConnell, or a facsimile, was
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: in a wheelchair but in the Senate chambers yesterday. The
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: 84-year-old Kentucky senator said to reporters, after two decades of
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: dodging your questions, I wasn't sure how many of you
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: would be here today. Attorney General Todd Blanche followed up
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: on President Trump's comments over the weekend that he was
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: going to look into releasing documents today. connecting the Saudi family,
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: if any existed, with the terrorist attacks in 2001. There'll
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: be more records coming out, Todd Blanch told CBS News
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: in an exclusive interview. The one thing we will not
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: be doing will not be protecting people, Blanch said. Vice
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: President J.D. Vance said there are questions about the motives, really,
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: surrounding the AI concerns issued by the head of Anthropic,
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: he said Monday, he's skeptical of the unusual effort to
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: greater regulate their own industry. The Environmental Protection Agency did
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: as we told you, and it rolled back, replaced rules
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: that limit the power plants and restrict their ability to
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: create energy. According to Lee Zeldin, this will save American
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: businesses $ 300 billion in costs. Borders are Tom Homan said
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: there is no plan for immigration and customs enforcement officers
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: to sweep polling locations. And Kevin Warsh may have to
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: do what he didn't want to do, which is raise
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: interest rates. It's very likely in the path of the U.S.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: interest rates and inflated elevation. Inflation, that should have said.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: Our friends at JCSGold.com, one should come visit with them.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: They've got gold and silver on sale this morning, both
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: down a considerable amount. So visit with them there and
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: take a look at what you can get for a
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: smaller amount of money. It's not a lot, but it
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: is less than it was yesterday. So it might give
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: you an opportunity to grab just a little bit more.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: And our friends at The Daily Signal keep me busy
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: after the show is done. New column coming up later

• 9:05
  Speaker 9: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them nestled
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.

• 9:57
  Speaker 15: Exercise is hard. So is maintainability. a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:03
  Speaker 15: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 15: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 15: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 15: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 15: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:24
  Speaker 15: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 15: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 15: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 15: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

• 12:07

  Speaker 5: Probably.
• 12:23
  Speaker 11: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 13: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 22: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29

• 12:36
  Speaker 5: isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking and driving.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: If you're drinking, call a cab, a car, or a friend.
• 12:43
  Speaker 19: Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message brought to you

  Speaker 19: by NHTSA and the Ad Council.

  Speaker 17: the Federal Trade Commission.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: This is Independence from Virginia. Again, first thing today by
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: So everyone's losing their mind over, and this is brilliant
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: because this is a tempest in the teapot, this Jimmy Kimmel.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: He's learned, and Jimmy Kimmel's been a publicity stunt guy
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: since he started having You know, the man show with
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: Adam Carolla, if you can imagine such a duo. So
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: Jimmy Kimmel realizing that the only time he'd get a
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: ratings boost is if he was seen being targeted by
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: the Trump FCC. He's invented his own now. He, and
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: we told you, I mean, briefly about this, but man,
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: it has just caught fire. Everyone's, oh, it's FCC shutting
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: down Jimmy Kimmel. No, Jimmy Kimmel's production company sat down with,
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: what's his name, Tallarico, and then announced that the interview
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: was only going to be available on YouTube because the
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: FCC is clamping down on him. So he's invented this
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: idea of being this Robin Hood talking to James Tallarico
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: in between bites of his tofu barbecue. I guess you
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: could do a dry rub on a slab of tofu, right?
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know what it would come out looking like
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: after a few minutes in the smoker, but a smoker
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: if you got her.
• 15:04
  Speaker 11: What?
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: That sounded bad? It's too late now. So Jimmy Kimmel
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: discovered over the last few months that it really helps
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: him if the FCC is targeting him. And you know
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: what happened? The FCC stopped targeting him.
• 15:20
  Speaker 22: Damn it.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: I need to gin up some support. So now he's
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: created his own faux narrative that Now he has to
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: post his interviews online to keep them away from the
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: FCC's meddling eyes. Of course, if you've paid attention to
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: the FCC at all, you know that they love to
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: get themselves involved in YouTube faster than you can say Napster.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: The government wants to do something about all these social
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: media influencers. Um, I don't know, let them eat each
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: other and then they won't influence anyone anymore. Explain to
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: people why they're being pushed around by, I don't, you know.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not going to claim I'm not in
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: an influencer business. I laugh because radio hosts were influencers
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: faster than you can say Alan Freed or Payola. Your
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: favorite DJ, meaning the only one playing your favorite music
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: in your town, said, This is a great new record, darling!
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: And they'd spin Herman Hermits or something, and you'd go
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: out and buy it because your favorite DJ said it
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: was a great record. And all your friends were listening
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: because he was the only guy playing that music in
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: your town. Oh, the good old days when there wasn't competition.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: So Jimmy Kimmel, deciding he needs to gin up some
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: attention for himself, has created this false narrative that somehow
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: the FCC sent him a directive saying. And at first
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: I thought maybe it was just the House of Mouse saying, hey,
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: chill with the political stuff.
• 17:12
  Speaker 11: No.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: There's a famous story from the old Howard Stern show.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: Howard had wanted, back in the heyday of the TV
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: show Roseanne, They had booked Roseanne Barr to come in
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: and be on the show, but she couldn't be there before,
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: I think, 9 o'clock a.m., which is way out of
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: prime time if you're doing morning radio. That's like, you know,
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: you might as well just not do it. So Howard,
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: in another instance where people like me just want to
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: be drama llamas, spent the first two hours of his
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: program bitching that Roseanne was a no-show. Where is she?
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: Where is she going?
• 18:01
  Speaker 14: Robin, where's Roseanne?
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: And then at 7 o'clock primetime, Robin Quivers said, Hey, Howard,
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: Roseanne's here. And then Howard spent the next hour saying,
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: Tell her she can't come on yet. Tell her to
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: wait in the waiting room.
• 18:17
  Speaker 14: I don't want to.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: And everyone's like, Oh, my God. At that point, Roseanne
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Barr I don't even know, you know, Sidney Sweeney or
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: someone like that would be of an equal size. Sophie Cunningham.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: I don't know. But he created this narrative knowing full
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: well that Roseanne wasn't supposed to be there till like
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: nine o'clock and she got there on time and did everything.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: But he had created this idea that he was having
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: this huge war with Roseanne. Oh, Howard's standing up to
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: a big TV star. Well, he's got to be on
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: our side. And he was, of course, it was a lie.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: Howard's a goon just like the rest of us. Look
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: at look at the whole summer long narrative about is
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: Howard done? Is Howard? He's doing like two hours a week.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: Even Johnny Carson did more work at the end of
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: his career than Howard Stern is. Oh, of course, to
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: be fair, it's Sirius XM. So you have an entire
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: channel named the Dale Earnhardt channel and Dale Earnhardt shows
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: up for like half an hour. And you don't even know,
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: I don't even think you know which half hour it is.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: You just have to leave it on like it's just
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: country music otherwise. So Jimmy Kimmel is doing this publicity
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: stunt that somehow the FCC is making him put this
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: James Tallarico interview on YouTube, which pays him directly for it.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: I wonder if ABC is sanguine with this, but anyway.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: it's Jimmy's production company. But don't buy it for five seconds.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: There is no requirement to keep fairness. And if the
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: FCC pressed it, Brendan Carr would be, what's the word?
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: wrong for it. Now, if he wants to change the
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: laws governing the Federal Communication Commission so that yet again,
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: they can come in there and quell speech rather than
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: promote speech, he can do that, but he hasn't. So
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: all this stuff is a lie. You are being lied
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: to by a guy who's just looking for a quick
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: hit of publicity. And I didn't talk about it yesterday,
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: mostly because I didn't feel the urge to give him any.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: But over the intervening 20 some hours, it has been insane.
• 20:50
  Speaker 14: Be careful.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: Be careful what? I'm allowed to have whoever I want
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: on my show for whatever reason. Peter Thiel, one of
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: Trump's advisors, actually just published a column saying, you know,
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: ease up on the expert. interviews talk radio hosts because
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: most of them are just out there being paid by
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: somebody to go out and give, quote, their expertise. And
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: I agree with Peter Thiel 100% on this. I have
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: found that, you know, with the exception of a few
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: think tanks, and I will look for stories that color
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: our commentary on But I'm here to talk to you.

  Speaker 5: me from talking to you at 434-882-4217. Whether you like Trump,
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: don't like Trump, Ted Cruz, whatever it may be. But
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: as soon as you hear them start talking about things
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: like the fairness doctrine, stop it. Stop it before it
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: gets any further.

  Speaker 23: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,

  Speaker 23: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 23: me tell you, Having people pray with you when you
• 22:30

  Speaker 23: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 20: What I keep telling people, people love MediShare, and they

• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Medical Association. Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: veterinarians deliver better care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: speed up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: supports veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: develop personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: on patients. But as with any new technology, always keep
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: AI is a powerful tool.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: But not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion, and judgment,

  Speaker 28: people that he wanted to be better with reporters than

• 30:28
  Speaker 28: that he didn't get to know the guys, that he

  Speaker 14: So, you know, that just doesn't, you know, Haas is going,
• 31:32
  Speaker 14: he's trying to say hello to me. You know, how
• 31:34
  Speaker 14: you doing? Michael.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but to be fair, there is a school of
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: thought that says, don't get into that stuff. He's trying
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: to throw you off your game. Yeah, I know.
• 31:44
  Speaker 14: Trying to divert it. You know, maybe divert the win. Okay.
• 31:47
  Speaker 28: Now, there's been so much about the Texas upset, okay,
• 31:53
  Speaker 28: and the 20.4.
• 31:54
  Speaker 14: I mean, there's just been so much.
• 31:56
  Speaker 28: Even in AI, because if you saw the social media posts,
• 32:00
  Speaker 28: When Sark was being interviewed by Holly Rowe and kind
• 32:04
  Speaker 28: of dissed her, she tried to ask a question and
• 32:06
  Speaker 28: all the confusion. And he just said, well, I hook
• 32:09
  Speaker 28: them horns and walked away. And Holly walked away. And
• 32:12
  Speaker 28: now there was an AI video, which Arch Manning laughed about,
• 32:15
  Speaker 28: you know, about where he slaps Holly Rowe. Just what
• 32:19
  Speaker 28: we needed following the good, good golf controversy with the
• 32:22
  Speaker 28: Callaway driver in the commercial, right?
• 32:24
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 32:25
  Speaker 14: Anyway, with all that being.
• 32:26
  Speaker 28: Steve Sarkeesian now, so now he wanted to play the
• 32:31
  Speaker 28: game of building the resume for Texas, but also realizing, hey,
• 32:36
  Speaker 28: we beat somebody really good. I don't want the CFP
• 32:39
  Speaker 28: to overlook the Buckeyes here.
• 32:41
  Speaker 12: I hope Ohio State does not get punished for that
• 32:44
  Speaker 12: game Saturday night.
• 32:46
  Speaker 19: They played a heck of a game.
• 32:47
  Speaker 14: I mean, it's 24-23.
• 32:48
  Speaker 12: They lose a scorn with 25 seconds to.
• 32:49
  Speaker 14: Go in the game.
• 32:53
  Speaker 12: That I hope if they end up being a 9-3 team,
• 32:56
  Speaker 12: the committee can appreciate the fact that they came to Austin,
• 32:58
  Speaker 12: Texas in September when it was 100 degrees and played
• 33:01
  Speaker 12: us in that environment and played.
• 33:04
  Speaker 14: A heck of a game.
• 33:06
  Speaker 11: What?
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: Fair enough. Well, you know, they're looking at PowerPoints.
• 33:08
  Speaker 11: What?
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: I don't know how they do it, but, I mean,
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: a lot of, you know, it doesn't count as much.
• 33:15
  Speaker 14: Steve, you walked into the office Sunday. You broke down
• 33:17
  Speaker 14: that film. You go, well, I sure hope Ohio State
• 33:19
  Speaker 14: makes the CFP.
• 33:21
  Speaker 11: What?
• 33:22
  Speaker 14: I mean, it's, you know, that's our game.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: It's a resume win.
• 33:26
  Speaker 14: Not to be outdone.
• 33:28
  Speaker 28: And all of a sudden, this has become the summer
• 33:31
  Speaker 28: of Lane, which is actually the fall.
• 33:34
  Speaker 14: I understand that. Lane Kiffin, now, not that we needed
• 33:38
  Speaker 14: more Lane Kiffin. Because we didn't.
• 33:41
  Speaker 28: Not that we needed more Lane Kiffin this week. And
• 33:43
  Speaker 28: I promised to back off.
• 33:45
  Speaker 14: I can't. I can't. The Lane Kiffin story is just addictive.
• 33:52
  Speaker 28: It's too addictive for me. It's like lemonade and that
• 33:57
  Speaker 28: beverage that starts with a T. I have to. So yesterday,
• 34:03
  Speaker 28: he told the reporter, he said, look, and he plays
• 34:06
  Speaker 28: the mind game.
• 34:06
  Speaker 14: Better than anybody.
• 34:07
  Speaker 28: Lane Kiffin And LSU goes to Ole Miss this week.
• 34:11
  Speaker 14: Oh, who's the most hated? I mean, despised man in
• 34:17
  Speaker 14: the whole Southeast. Well, it's Lane Kiffin.
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: Of course.
• 34:21
  Speaker 14: By Ole Miss, right? So he told the writers, I've
• 34:27
  Speaker 14: got this handled.
• 34:28
  Speaker 29: You don't have anything to worry about as far as, like,
• 34:30
  Speaker 29: attention on you all week and everything. There's just going
• 34:33
  Speaker 29: to be so much attention, hatred, everything on me. I said,
• 34:36
  Speaker 29: you just get to go play. And I said, really,
• 34:37
  Speaker 29: the pressure's on them. They're the team that we won
• 34:40
  Speaker 29: seven games last year.
• 34:41
  Speaker 14: They won 13.
• 34:41
  Speaker 29: They returned two Heisman candidates. How often does that ever
• 34:45
  Speaker 29: happen in the same backfield? We had it one time
• 34:47
  Speaker 29: with Matt Liner and Reggie Bush, and second longest winning
• 34:49
  Speaker 29: streak in the country. So you guys just get to
• 34:51
  Speaker 29: go play, and the pressure's not on you.
• 34:53
  Speaker 14: Yeah, just go play. It's on me. I'm the one
• 34:56
  Speaker 14: that's so ripped. I told the players, don't even feel
• 35:00
  Speaker 14: any pressure to win this game. It's not for, you know.
• 35:03
  Speaker 21: That's a feint. Yeah, you talk about must-see TV. And
• 35:07
  Speaker 21: so you talk about must-see TV. I mean, this is, yeah,
• 35:10
  Speaker 21: that's the way it should be. And just absolutely, you know,
• 35:14
  Speaker 21: looking forward to it. So it's going to be great. Now,
• 35:17
  Speaker 21: you're going to love this from a political standpoint. You
• 35:20
  Speaker 21: know Ted Cruz got some time last week. to talk
• 35:22
  Speaker 21: about the college sports protection act or protect college sports,
• 35:25
  Speaker 21: whatever it is.
• 35:26
  Speaker 14: And they're supposed to get to it this week. The
• 35:29
  Speaker 14: Senate is. Yeah.
• 35:32
  Speaker 28: So I don't, I don't know whether that's going to
• 35:34
  Speaker 28: happen or not. Well, Ted Cruz went on game day
• 35:37
  Speaker 28: and I caught in a game day with herb street
• 35:39
  Speaker 28: and save it.
• 35:40
  Speaker 14: And you know, McAfee, it's really, it's really, really strong,
• 35:44
  Speaker 14: pretty strong pregame show.
• 35:45
  Speaker 28: I mean, I, I really find very few things that
• 35:48
  Speaker 28: they do a great job. Well, Because of the Ted Cruz,
• 35:54
  Speaker 28: and so a lot of people, they booed him in Austin.
• 35:57
  Speaker 14: They just, you know, they didn't like it.
• 35:58
  Speaker 28: Well, now that that interview is coming, you know, has
• 36:02
  Speaker 28: been come and gone. Well, now NAACP President Derrick Johnson
• 36:09
  Speaker 28: is scheduled now to appear on SportsCenter tonight at 6.
• 36:13
  Speaker 28: So he can discuss the Protect Colleague Sports Act.
• 36:17
  Speaker 11: Why?
• 36:18
  Speaker 14: He opposes it. He opposes the act. So his appearance
• 36:23
  Speaker 14: comes three days after the Ted Cruz thing.
• 36:26
  Speaker 28: And now the network didn't want to put Johnson on
• 36:29
  Speaker 28: game day.
• 36:31
  Speaker 14: Wherever they're going. And I don't know where they're going
• 36:32
  Speaker 14: to be this week.
• 36:33
  Speaker 28: But they're giving him airtime tonight. This goes back to
• 36:38
  Speaker 28: the days.
• 36:38
  Speaker 14: When I had, you know, I had.
• 36:43
  Speaker 28: Do we remember our governor who used to play football
• 36:47
  Speaker 28: for the University of Virginia?
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: Do we remember Mr.
• 36:50
  Speaker 28: Allen who would come in my booth in the fourth
• 36:54
  Speaker 28: quarter and talk Virginia football?
• 36:56
  Speaker 14: We didn't talk about taxes.
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: We just did 10 minutes on James Tallarico, who's actually
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: Ted Cruz's opponent for that Senate seat. You know, and
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: how he went on Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Kimmel turned
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: it into a publicity stunt. Nobody is making him take
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: it off the air.
• 37:17
  Speaker 28: So I'll never forget the Warner campaign at the time.
• 37:20
  Speaker 14: We had Georgia.
• 37:21
  Speaker 28: They contacted Virginia Sports Marketing and contacted. And I had
• 37:28
  Speaker 28: to have Warner appear at halftime.
• 37:31
  Speaker 16: Gosh.
• 37:32
  Speaker 14: For equal time.
• 37:33
  Speaker 28: During a football game because George Allen talked football on
• 37:36
  Speaker 28: my network. And leave it to my spotter, Jimmy Casella,
• 37:39
  Speaker 28: who stood up and said, Governor, welcome to our booth,
• 37:43
  Speaker 28: but nobody here voted for you.
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: Of course, because that's Jimmy. But that's the trouble with
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: the fairness doctrine, and they keep talking about bringing it back.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: It was horrible, and it's an infringement on free speech.
• 37:57
  Speaker 14: I love this game. Thanks. See you tomorrow.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Hi, it's Mark Falter, host of the Financial Fitness Show.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: for most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case.
• 38:16
  Speaker 27: Why?
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Because most people spend more time planning next weekend's getaway
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less in taxes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: My financial fitness team has put together some materials that
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: I know are going to help you. It's the tax
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: savings kit. Tax savings kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: top 10 ways to pay less in taxes, and an
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: investor's guide to taxes. Now, how do you get it?
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: Simple.
• 38:42

  Speaker 24: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes, actually,
• 39:10
  Speaker 24: three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr.
• 39:12
  Speaker 11: Mitch.
• 39:13
  Speaker 24: And nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all
• 39:17
  Speaker 24: day long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the
• 39:22
  Speaker 24: blood vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased,
• 39:26
  Speaker 24: bringing blood, oxygen, and nutrients to every part of your body.
• 39:32
  Speaker 24: Both age and poor diet can lead to a loss
• 39:35
  Speaker 24: of this precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can
• 39:39
  Speaker 24: go up, energy can go down, and you can get
• 39:42
  Speaker 24: tingling in your hands and feet. Well, our products Ultimate
• 39:46
  Speaker 24: nitric oxide can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide.

  Speaker 22: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:38
  Speaker 22: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 22: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 22: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 22: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 22: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 22: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 41:00
  Speaker 22: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

• 41:08
  Speaker 22: I speak with my patients, I urge them to get
• 41:10
  Speaker 22: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
• 41:14
  Speaker 22: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 41:18
  Speaker 22: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
• 41:20

  Speaker 27: you notice a 16-year-old boy who.
• 42:14
  Speaker 12: Got his first job, not for extra spending money, but
• 42:17
  Speaker 12: to help feed his little sisters?
• 42:19
  Speaker 27: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes
• 42:22
  Speaker 27: to bed hungry so her kids can have dinner? Or
• 42:25
  Speaker 27: a 14-year-old girl who signs up to every after-school activity
• 42:29
  Speaker 27: not to make friends but just to get something to eat.

  Speaker 27: Or a retiree who fell ill and had.

• 44:21
  Speaker 14: Word to your moms, I came to drop bombs. I
• 44:24
  Speaker 14: got more rhymes than the Bible's got songs. And just
• 44:26
  Speaker 14: like the prodigal son, I've returned. I came to get down,
• 44:29
  Speaker 14: I came to get down. So get out your seat
• 44:31
  Speaker 14: and jump around, jump around.
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: He is TomDropsBombs on YouTube, the host of TomDropsBombs on YouTube,
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: the man who is the first person to ever say
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: to me, if you're taking flack, JT, then you must
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: be over the target. Tom, good morning, sir. How are
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: you doing?
• 44:52
  Speaker 11: Joe Thomas, as I live and breathe, I am well.
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: That's another one of those Southern, that's like, bless your heart.
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: You know something bad's coming right after someone says, bless
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: your heart. And, you know, but I digress. Friday.
• 45:07
  Speaker 11: Nothing bad after as I live and breathe, except maybe stopping.
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: Well, no, I think I think usually that's one of
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: those like there. That's when you're about to get chastened
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: for something that you did or said. I just published.
• 45:21
  Speaker 11: I only have I only have one thing to chasten
• 45:23
  Speaker 11: you for today.
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: Oh, I didn't think you had any. So so I'm
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: already on the losing end.
• 45:28
  Speaker 11: You're supposed to be. You're supposed to be telling people
• 45:31
  Speaker 11: to get out and vote, at least in Virginia. It
• 45:34
  Speaker 11: starts on Friday. We talked off air, and you're like,
• 45:37
  Speaker 11: when does voting start? And I'm like, Joe, I can't
• 45:40
  Speaker 11: believe you don't know that.
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: Okay. I feel like James Tallarico and the FCC. I'm
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: part of Jimmy Kimmel's skin. By the way, Matt in Waynesboro,
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: my buddy Matt Kelly writes in, hey, Joe, who's Jimmy Kimmel?
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: And I get it.
• 45:57
  Speaker 14: Okay.
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: And this is the reason I didn't talk about this
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: whole Jimmy Kimmel, James Tallarico bit yesterday when it was
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: already becoming a maelstrom because now I'm getting hit with
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: it because a lot of people love the idea. It's
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: been too long since the fairness doctrine existed and people
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: have forgotten how it was actually used to kill free speech,
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: not promote it. But I get the point. I shouldn't
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: give Jimmy Kimmel any publicity here. How about this, though?
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: His opponent is talking about a piece of legislation designed
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: to save college athletics from themselves, Tom. And I know
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: that you're a college athlete, you know, Richmond Spiders. Um,
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: and unless you're.
• 46:46
  Speaker 11: I played beer pong. I was, uh, I didn't play
• 46:48
  Speaker 11: any sports in college.
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: That's not sanctioned by the NCAA.
• 46:51
  Speaker 11: You know, if it's not now, it probably will be soon.
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: Um, but, but they, they're going to pass this save
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: college football from themselves bill, but they can't pass the
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: save America act. I mean, you know, is this, and
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: I know you spent some time in Washington DC and
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: have lived to tell the tale. I mean, is this
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: as bad as it gets with these senators?
• 47:15
  Speaker 11: Well, I mean, I don't understand a world that we
• 47:21
  Speaker 11: can live in where somehow it's defensible to not think
• 47:24
  Speaker 11: that you should be able to demonstrate that you are
• 47:26
  Speaker 11: who you say you are when you go to vote.
• 47:28
  Speaker 11: I'm trying to figure out still how that's controversial. You
• 47:31
  Speaker 11: and me both. If you open your eyes and ears,
• 47:35
  Speaker 11: you'll figure out exactly what it is that they want, right?
• 47:39
  Speaker 11: I mean, they passed a bill in Virginia this year,
• 47:42
  Speaker 11: and I think it's nationwide that we should not have
• 47:46
  Speaker 11: ICE at polling places. And I'm like, why do you care, right?
• 47:49
  Speaker 11: I mean, theoretically, if no illegals are voting and you
• 47:52
  Speaker 11: want open borders, shouldn't you want ICE at all the
• 47:54
  Speaker 11: polling places? Like, that's one day that they can just
• 47:57
  Speaker 11: go hog wild everywhere else since none of them are voting.
• 48:00
  Speaker 11: But no, that's a hill apparently worth dying on for
• 48:03
  Speaker 11: the left. So he thinks they don't protest too much.
• 48:06
  Speaker 11: And then the misogynistic sort of anti-woman, if you require
• 48:11
  Speaker 11: an ID to vote, then women won't be able to
• 48:13
  Speaker 11: figure it out. Normal people of color is the most racist,
• 48:15
  Speaker 11: sexist thing I've heard in decades. And yet that's the
• 48:18
  Speaker 11: left who says that everyone who opposes their policies are
• 48:21
  Speaker 11: racist and sexist.
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: So anyway– On Friday, 45 days. Yeah, you know that
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: thanks to me.
• 48:36
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: You know, this is where my training kicks in and says,
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: follow the verbal reality, Joe. So talk about why the
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: more we make it easy to vote, you know, the
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: Supreme Court just ruled can't stop the mail, you know,
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: mail fraud can happen. You know, the U.S. Postal Service
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: will suborn mail fraud. which is an interesting thing. And
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: yet every year we get fewer people voting. What is
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: going on? The easier we make it, the less people
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: do it.
• 49:13
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, except for when Joe Biden's on the ballot,
• 49:16
  Speaker 11: then we break records. Look, I'm serious. I mean, y'all
• 49:20
  Speaker 11: need to go Google search that. It's incredible. That guy's
• 49:24
  Speaker 11: the number one vote getter in U.S. presidential history by
• 49:27
  Speaker 11: a mile. He's got Donald Trump beat, Barack Obama beat.
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: It's storybook, man. It's storybook.
• 49:35
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, man. Hey, Jack. Anyway, yeah, I don't know. Look,
• 49:40
  Speaker 11: I mean, I feel like Idiocracy might have been, if
• 49:43
  Speaker 11: you haven't seen it, you should watch it just so
• 49:45
  Speaker 11: you can cry. It's a very sad movie, but it
• 49:47
  Speaker 11: might have been a cautionary tale. I guess you got
• 49:51
  Speaker 11: to believe that America's worth saving, right? And the entire
• 49:54
  Speaker 11: curriculum was designed. I mean, I got a child who's
• 49:57
  Speaker 11: small who said to me, I said, what's your favorite subject?
• 50:02
  Speaker 11: And they said, well, you know, I don't know, reading.
• 50:05
  Speaker 11: And I said, what about history? And they said, well,
• 50:06
  Speaker 11: this is a true story. I like history, but I
• 50:08
  Speaker 11: understand already that we used to do mean things to
• 50:10
  Speaker 11: black people. Like apparently that's the entire history curriculum. And
• 50:15
  Speaker 11: that's an exceptional public school system. So that's a third
• 50:20
  Speaker 11: grader who said that.
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: That's not good.
• 50:24
  Speaker 11: No mental health professional will tell you. that it is
• 50:27
  Speaker 11: healthy to harbor guilt for things you didn't do, nor
• 50:32
  Speaker 11: embrace entitlement for things, for grievances that weren't inflicted upon you.
• 50:36
  Speaker 11: And yet our entire system is if you look like this,
• 50:39
  Speaker 11: you deserve to do or give or get that. And
• 50:42
  Speaker 11: that is, I mean, you know, I'm a poor slavery.
• 50:46
  Speaker 11: I never owned any, you know.
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: Well, thank you for clarifying that. You've been places where
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: there's slavery today.
• 50:56
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I've been I've been in multiple countries where there's
• 51:01
  Speaker 11: slavery now. But, you know, nobody. They don't care about
• 51:06
  Speaker 11: those people. Right. Exactly. You know, we can we can
• 51:09
  Speaker 11: we can attack this old remaining functional democracy in the
• 51:12
  Speaker 11: entire Middle East. whilst turning a blind eye to nation
• 51:15
  Speaker 11: states adjacent that literally are enslaving and murdering people based
• 51:19
  Speaker 11: on race, religion and ethnicity. You know, so I guess, again,
• 51:24
  Speaker 11: whomever aligns with the Marxist seems to have the sympathy
• 51:27
  Speaker 11: of the left. I'm sure it's just coincidence.
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: So, Tom, you know, I was impressed President Trump in
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: the intervening week since the last you were here. seems
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: to listen, or maybe somebody who is related to him
• 51:41
