- 0:47Speaker 8: Wherever we stick the flag into the ground, we're on
- 0:50Speaker 8: the road this morning. A couple of on-location shows from
- 0:53Speaker 8: the Big Ridge Guns and Archery Remote Studios. We're going
- 0:58Speaker 8: to be here at the Flight 93 Visitor Center. Today,
- 1:02Speaker 8: for the remainder of this show, for this hour, and
- 1:05Speaker 8: all four of tomorrow morning's show, we have special guests.
- 1:09Speaker 8: Ambassador Jim Gilmore is going to be on the program. Senator,
- 1:14Speaker 8: I guess, is it Senator, Governor, George Allen, who was
- 1:19Speaker 8: in the Capitol at the time, when all of a
- 1:23Speaker 8: sudden it was real and this plane might have been
- 1:27Speaker 8: headed towards him and all of that. But I want
- 1:30Speaker 8: to get back into some of the other goings on here.
- 1:33Speaker 8: First text message, though, from Terry. He says, my gosh,
- 1:37Speaker 8: could that guy be selling the memorial more than that? Well, Terry,
- 1:42Speaker 8: I mean, would you bring on the superintendent of the facility?
- 1:48Speaker 8: You say, so do you like it? It could be better.
- 1:50Speaker 8: I mean, you know, we all have our grandmothers like, well,
- 1:54Speaker 8: I mean, you could have. You could have gotten a 100,
- 1:57Speaker 8: but grandma got a 98. What happened with the other
- 2:00Speaker 8: two points? But he is in love with this facility.
- 2:04Speaker 8: He surely does. John, I'm going to address this in
- 2:08Speaker 8: a little bit because it's going to take my thoughts
- 2:11Speaker 8: on it. I am down with you. This RNC convention
- 2:14Speaker 8: thing has got a lot of people like John Myers
- 2:18Speaker 8: texting me here. Wait till these high diesel prices wind
- 2:21Speaker 8: their way through the supply chain. The timing of this RNC, quote,
- 2:26Speaker 8: celebration couldn't be worse. Trying to tell folks what a
- 2:30Speaker 8: great job you've done while they're struggling with day-to-day price
- 2:33Speaker 8: increases is a recipe for disaster. And you're not alone.
- 2:38Speaker 8: I've got two people sent me pictures, and I love
- 2:40Speaker 8: the historical impact of this. Two people sent me pictures
- 2:44Speaker 8: of whip inflation now pins. You remember whip inflation now?
- 2:49Speaker 8: The pins, the.
- 2:51Speaker 8: The Ford administration gave out in 74, was it 75 there?
- 3:00Speaker 8: So anyway, those things are afoot this morning as we
- 3:05Speaker 8: gather here at the Flight 93 Memorial for our first
- 3:08Speaker 8: things this morning. Of course, the convention John speaks of
- 3:13Speaker 8: in his text is the RNC, quote, midterm conventions. President
- 3:19Speaker 8: Trump saying, together we will turn a two-year comeback into
- 3:22Speaker 8: a 250-year lead. Surprise visitor to introduce Pennsylvania Senator McCormick,
- 3:32Speaker 8: Dave McCormick, was his co-senator, Democrat John Fetterman, who introduced
- 3:37Speaker 8: him by a web link video. He said.
- 3:42Speaker 8: I'm John Fetterman from Pennsylvania. Yes, I'm a Democrat. Why
- 3:46Speaker 8: am I here talking with you today? Because I'm a
- 3:48Speaker 8: common sense Democrat. There is rumblings that he'll be here
- 3:52Speaker 8: tomorrow to speak to the crowd at the Flight 93 Memorial.
- 3:58Speaker 8: Justice Department is preparing to deepen its antitrust investigation into
- 4:03Speaker 8: Fox Corporation's $ 22 billion acquisition of Roku, a move that
- 4:08Speaker 8: would extend the government's review of a transaction that would
- 4:12Speaker 8: combine one of America's largest television content companies with a
- 4:16Speaker 8: major streaming distribution platform. Apple, in what used to be
- 4:22Speaker 8: a national holiday, introduced its latest iPhones yesterday. The foldable
- 4:27Speaker 8: version called Duo, CEO John Ternes, barely two weeks into
- 4:33Speaker 8: the job, gave the introductions at the company's Cupertino, California headquarters.
- 4:42Speaker 8: Treasury Department said today it will start buying back $ 6
- 4:46Speaker 8: billion in 10- to 20-year Treasury bonds, triple the size
- 4:50Speaker 8: of its last operation of that kind. President Trump admitted
- 4:55Speaker 8: before heading to the RNC convention that gas prices will
- 5:00Speaker 8: stay high, quote, for a little bit longer than the midterm.
- 5:04Speaker 8: Admitting something that this program had reported on for some time,
- 5:09Speaker 8: and I thank our friend Tom Drops Bombs, The Iranians
- 5:12Speaker 8: have a calendar, too, and they know when the midterms are.
- 5:16Speaker 8: They get CNN. And so the Ayatollah and his folks,
- 5:21Speaker 8: they know if they can run out the clock, they'll
- 5:24Speaker 8: have everything they want and then some if they can
- 5:27Speaker 8: flip the midterms. President Trump said he had a great
- 5:30Speaker 8: conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin that included Putin's desire,
- 5:36Speaker 8: he said, to reach a deal to end the war
- 5:39Speaker 8: in Ukraine. He's wanting to make a deal, President Trump said,
- 5:44Speaker 8: and if Zelensky is wanting to make a deal, that
- 5:46Speaker 8: would be very nice. This comes on the heels of
- 5:49Speaker 8: Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff's visit with the two men
- 5:56Speaker 8: on Friday. And the Energy Department says that diesel fuel
- 6:00Speaker 8: could stay at about $ 4. 40 a gallon through 2027.
- 6:06Speaker 11: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
- 6:10Speaker 11: the American story. But not every site is telling that
- 6:13Speaker 11: story honestly and fairly. That's why the Heritage Foundation created
- 6:17Speaker 11: the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips
- 6:21Speaker 11: American citizens with the tools they need to enjoy the
- 6:25Speaker 11: sites that depict some of the greatest moments in our
- 6:28Speaker 11: nation's history, analyzing them for historical accuracy, and provides resources
- 6:33Speaker 11: for families or educators planning a visit. It currently covers
- 6:37Speaker 11: over 45 sites in the 13 original colonies, but sites
- 6:41Speaker 11: from all 50 states will be added in time for
- 6:44Speaker 11: citizens to celebrate America 250 this summer. From Mount Vernon
- 6:48Speaker 11: to Independence Hall to Gettysburg and more, Americans deserve transparency
- 6:54Speaker 11: and sites that steward our history faithfully deserve our gratitude.
- 7:01Speaker 10: For veterans concerned about their alcohol or drug use, seeking
- 7:05Speaker 10: help can be the first step toward recovery.
- 7:08Speaker 8: Dr.
- 7:08Speaker 10: Joseph Liberto, National Mental Health Director for Substance Use Disorders
- 7:13Speaker 10: with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, has more.
- 7:16Speaker 7: May is Mental Health Month, and VA is committed to
- 7:19Speaker 7: letting every veteran know that help is available. Substance use
- 7:23Speaker 7: disorder can harm your physical and mental health, but it
- 7:26Speaker 7: can be treated. There are thousands of veterans in recovery.
- 7:30Speaker 10: VA's Today I Am campaign highlights real stories from veterans
- 7:35Speaker 10: describing how treatment, support, and resources help them improve their
- 7:39Speaker 10: mental health and their lives.
- 7:42Speaker 7: VA has programs to treat substance use disorder at facilities
- 7:46Speaker 7: throughout the country. We also offer telehealth services. A better,
- 7:50Speaker 7: fuller life is possible. Today, you can start on a
- 7:54Speaker 7: path toward recovery.

- 8:04Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 9: I'm Dr.
- 8:13Speaker 6: Mitch.
- 8:14Speaker 9: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 8:20Speaker 9: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 8:24Speaker 9: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 8:28Speaker 9: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 8:33Speaker 9: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 8:39Speaker 9: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 8:43Speaker 9: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 8:47Speaker 9: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 8:52Speaker 9: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

- 9:02Speaker 12: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 9:05Speaker 12: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 9:10Speaker 12: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
- 9:13Speaker 12: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
- 9:17Speaker 12: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 9:21Speaker 12: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 9:26Speaker 12: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 9:29Speaker 12: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
- 9:33Speaker 12: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 9:38Speaker 12: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
- 9:42Speaker 12: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
- 9:46Speaker 12: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
- 9:53Speaker 12: Share this information with your friends and family.
- 9:59Speaker 4: Hi, everybody.
- 9:59Speaker 10: I'm Jack Hancock.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
- 10:02Speaker 1: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
- 10:05Speaker 1: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
- 10:07Speaker 1: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
- 10:10Speaker 1: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes who work hard
- 10:13Speaker 1: to provide for their young. Or penguins, who travel up
- 10:16Speaker 1: to 500 miles to secure food for their families. Or
- 10:19Speaker 1: bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
- 10:22Speaker 1: trees and the wild in search of fruit. This remarkable
- 10:24Speaker 1: work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
- 10:28Speaker 1: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
- 10:30Speaker 1: because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work
- 10:34Speaker 1: every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
- 10:36Speaker 1: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
- 10:39Speaker 1: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
- 10:42Speaker 1: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
- 10:45Speaker 1: roles that contribute to society.
- 10:46Speaker 2: And help those in need.
- 10:48Speaker 3: So please join me and.
- 10:49Speaker 1: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
- 10:52Speaker 1: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go
- 10:55Speaker 1: to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
- 10:59Speaker 13: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 14: Oh, yeah?
- 11:02Speaker 8: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:04Speaker 13: And now a speech.
- 11:07Speaker 2: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 11:10Speaker 8: Heart and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 1: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 11:15Speaker 15: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 11:18Speaker 15: somebody call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 13: Love that guy.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Me too.
- 11:21Speaker 4: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 11:24Speaker 4: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:29Speaker 16: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 11:31Speaker 16: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:35Speaker 16: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 11:40Speaker 16: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42Speaker 16: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 11:46Speaker 16: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 11:51Speaker 16: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors.
- 11:54Speaker 16: Check ducts for holes and improve your insulation. Another time
- 11:58Speaker 16: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 12:01Speaker 16: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 12:04Speaker 16: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 12:08Speaker 16: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 12:11Speaker 16: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 12:15Speaker 16: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
- 12:18Speaker 16: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.
- 12:24Speaker 16: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer
- 12:27Speaker 16: protection agency.
- 12:29Speaker 6: As a family member or friend, you may be the
- 12:32Speaker 6: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35Speaker 6: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
- 12:40Speaker 6: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
- 12:44Speaker 6: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
- 12:49Speaker 6: at MakeTheConnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
- 12:53Speaker 6: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
- 13:11Speaker 3: Local and corporate controlled is still corporate controlled. This is
- 13:16Speaker 3: Independence from Virginia. Again. First thing today by Joe Thomas
- 13:21Speaker 3: on the Talk Media Network.
- 13:29Speaker 8: Did we lose it? All right. Well, it's not that important,
- 13:32Speaker 8: but I just thought it added to the periphery there
- 13:36Speaker 8: if we had a little entree for ourselves. But that's
- 13:40Speaker 8: all right. I want to answer John's text message that
- 13:44Speaker 8: he sent to us a little while ago. Oh, so
- 13:48Speaker 8: you were just waiting for the right moment to bring
- 13:51Speaker 8: in the seasonings.
- 13:52Speaker 3: All right.
- 13:53Speaker 8: So you've heard me say this before, and I've said
- 13:55Speaker 8: it again. time and time again. I am a constitutional, U.S.
- 13:59Speaker 8: constitutional conservative. I believe in the Bill of Rights above
- 14:03Speaker 8: all else. And there are funny words that don't show
- 14:08Speaker 8: up in the U.S. Constitution anywhere, and certainly don't show
- 14:13Speaker 8: up in the Bill of Rights anywhere, and they are
- 14:16Speaker 8: the Republican Party or the Democratic Party or the word gun.
- 14:22Speaker 8: So we can dispense with some of those things. Do
- 14:26Speaker 8: I find that if I go looking for elected officials
- 14:32Speaker 8: that espouse the same conservative constitutionalist view of the world
- 14:36Speaker 8: I have, I find them in the Republican Party, not
- 14:39Speaker 8: the Democratic Party? Yes, you would be correct. But short
- 14:44Speaker 8: of that, that is the only reason you'll hear me
- 14:46Speaker 8: speak more in favor of people of the Republican Party membership.
- 14:52Speaker 8: I applaud Senator Fetterman. for his appearance, but keeping in
- 14:57Speaker 8: mind these are all people who are just looking to
- 15:02Speaker 8: the horizon of their next election. Me, you know what,
- 15:09Speaker 8: I tell you the truth at great peril because sometimes
- 15:13Speaker 8: the truth isn't what you want to hear or it
- 15:15Speaker 8: doesn't suit the narrative or I may see a different
- 15:19Speaker 8: analysis than you do. That's all good. And that's why
- 15:23Speaker 8: we keep the phone line open at 434-882-4217, even when
- 15:28Speaker 8: we're here at the Flight 93 Memorial, because I will
- 15:31Speaker 8: guarantee you when the stewards and the stewardesses and the
- 15:36Speaker 8: passengers of Flight 93 were herded into the back of
- 15:39Speaker 8: the plane, nobody said, so which one of you voted
- 15:42Speaker 8: for Al Gore and which one of you voted for
- 15:44Speaker 8: President W? There was none of that discussion. When they
- 15:50Speaker 8: voted to go to... take down the plane or at
- 15:53Speaker 8: least try to take over the plane. Nobody said well
- 15:59Speaker 8: let's count some hanging chads first. I want to recount
- 16:04Speaker 8: on the election it was too close. Because one of
- 16:10Speaker 8: the message, one of the reminders of Flight 93 is
- 16:13Speaker 8: real life takes place and it has nothing to do
- 16:16Speaker 8: with what political party you're in. And I'm sorry for
- 16:21Speaker 8: my friends who are in leadership in the Republican Party,
- 16:27Speaker 8: wanting me to get out there like Shaquille O'Neal for
- 16:31Speaker 8: Icy Hot or Annie Agar for Twisted Tea. We have
- 16:38Speaker 8: our sponsors. I tell you I love them and why
- 16:40Speaker 8: I love them and why you should participate in them,
- 16:43Speaker 8: but I'm not going to pretend that I'm going to
- 16:46Speaker 8: tell you something because they've asked me to. So John
- 16:51Speaker 8: Myers writes in this text message that I think is
- 16:54Speaker 8: entirely appropriate. He says, wait till these high diesel prices
- 16:58Speaker 8: wind their way through the supply chain. We spent a
- 17:02Speaker 8: good bit of the previous four-year administration talking about how
- 17:06Speaker 8: diesel prices were impacting grocery prices because diesel is going
- 17:10Speaker 8: to be used to deliver most of this stuff. So
- 17:15Speaker 8: it would be... enormously disingenuous if we weren't going to
- 17:20Speaker 8: speak of that and cover it. And for the same
- 17:25Speaker 8: reason we say, so what is being done? We just
- 17:29Speaker 8: were told of this historic deal with Venezuela. Where's that?
- 17:36Speaker 8: Is that unfair to ask? Joe, you're not helping on
- 17:39Speaker 8: the midterms. I don't give a rat's ass. I grew
- 17:44Speaker 8: up in a world that hadn't seen a Republican majority
- 17:48Speaker 8: in Washington since 1944. My mother was 14 years old.
- 17:57Speaker 8: The last time there had been a Republican majority in
- 18:00Speaker 8: Washington before Newt Gingrich came along. So please, you know,
- 18:06Speaker 8: we've lived in worlds where there's been Democrat. I'm not
- 18:09Speaker 8: discounting the fact that these are different Democrats. These are radicals,
- 18:15Speaker 8: and that should be important to it. And the battle
- 18:20Speaker 8: in Iran is important to it. I think about an email, John,
- 18:25Speaker 8: that we received.
- 18:26Speaker 2: Oh, gosh.
- 18:29Speaker 8: It must have been two months ago, if it was
- 18:31Speaker 8: a day. A young lady was just absolutely livid because
- 18:37Speaker 8: her parents were World War II generation. And she was
- 18:41Speaker 8: just beside herself at all the national news coverage of people,
- 18:46Speaker 8: as she called it, whining and complaining about gas prices. And,
- 18:55Speaker 8: you know, there's a reality to that. I also think
- 18:58Speaker 8: there's a reality to things FDR did regarding explaining why
- 19:03Speaker 8: things were important. And we need to have that conversation.
- 19:10Speaker 8: Why is this important to bring Iran back into the
- 19:15Speaker 8: world nation, get rid of the terrorists supporting Iran? Because
- 19:25Speaker 8: there has been a cost over time of dead soldiers
- 19:30Speaker 8: and dead civilians all paid for by the Iranian regime.
- 19:36Speaker 8: And do I agree with President Trump that it was
- 19:38Speaker 8: about nuclear ambitions?
- 19:40Speaker 4: Sure.
- 19:40Speaker 8: Sure, there was a degree to that where if they
- 19:44Speaker 8: got a nuclear missile, that would be a very dangerous
- 19:47Speaker 8: thing in the Middle East. But they've done a lot
- 19:51Speaker 8: of other things, too. And unfortunately, we live in a
- 19:54Speaker 8: world where people want to have 30-second sound bites so
- 19:59Speaker 8: we don't get into nuance, we don't get into the
- 20:02Speaker 8: depth of field. So, John, do I agree that, yeah,
- 20:05Speaker 8: this RNC convention is obvious? a little bit akin to
- 20:09Speaker 8: the whip inflation now pins of the Ford administration. I
- 20:15Speaker 8: am old enough to remember that. At least I didn't
- 20:17Speaker 8: see anyone with a whip inflation now pin at the
- 20:21Speaker 8: RNC convention. But look at who we're talking about. Look
- 20:26Speaker 8: at who wants to pull the levers of power. And you,
- 20:31Speaker 8: I think, John, as a loyal listener, know The number
- 20:33Speaker 8: one thing I want to accomplish has nothing to do
- 20:36Speaker 8: with political party. It's taking these levers of power away
- 20:40Speaker 8: from these elected officials who you never see. You're one
- 20:44Speaker 8: voice out of 850,000 in a congressional district that's way
- 20:49Speaker 8: too big that our founding fathers would have been aghast
- 20:53Speaker 8: at seeing. And so when you talk about it causing
- 21:03Speaker 8: midterm harm, yeah, if the politicians continue to do this
- 21:08Speaker 8: smiley face whistling past the graveyard act, everything's great here,
- 21:13Speaker 8: film at 11, they're going to get their lunch handed
- 21:17Speaker 8: to them if they engage honestly about the price of oil,
- 21:21Speaker 8: the price of it. If Mike Lee stands up and says,
- 21:25Speaker 8: where's all that Venezuelan oil? Where's this energy independence? It
- 21:31Speaker 8: needs to come from a Republican anyway. It needs to
- 21:33Speaker 8: come from a Republican because if it came from a Democrat, it's,
- 21:36Speaker 8: I just got your politics. So I agree with your summation, John,
- 21:42Speaker 8: but there's more going on here. And there is a
- 21:45Speaker 8: need for FDR-style conversations with the country regarding why bringing

- 22:02Speaker 9: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 22:07Speaker 9: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
- 22:12Speaker 9: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 22:17Speaker 9: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 22:22Speaker 9: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
- 22:27Speaker 9: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 22:31Speaker 9: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 22:35Speaker 9: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 22:38Speaker 9: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 22:41Speaker 9: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
- 22:46Speaker 9: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

- 24:03Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:13Speaker 9: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
- 24:43Speaker 9: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
- 24:46Speaker 9: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
- 24:51Speaker 9: cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to

- 25:57Speaker 4: Oh, yeah?
- 25:57Speaker 15: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 25:59Speaker 17: And now a speech. I just want to say that
- 26:04Speaker 17: friendship is about heart. Heart and brain.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Who's with me?
- 26:08Speaker 1: Good thing is, he knows.
- 26:10Speaker 14: When he's buzzed.
- 26:10Speaker 15: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 26:13Speaker 15: somebody call me a ride.
- 26:15Speaker 10: Love that guy.
- 26:16Speaker 11: Me too.

- 26:19Speaker 4: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 26:23Speaker 16: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 26:26Speaker 16: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 26:30Speaker 16: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 26:34Speaker 16: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 26:37Speaker 16: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 26:41Speaker 16: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 26:46Speaker 16: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 26:49Speaker 16: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 26:53Speaker 16: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 26:55Speaker 16: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 26:59Speaker 16: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 27:02Speaker 16: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 27:05Speaker 16: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 27:09Speaker 16: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

- 28:15Speaker 3: Talk radio just the way your mother used to make it.
- 28:18Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 28:27Speaker 8: Dual purpose. Very, very Scottish morning here. This is how
- 28:33Speaker 8: the world moves. This is where hillbilly comes from. All
- 28:39Speaker 8: those Scottish men and women who emigrated to the United
- 28:43Speaker 8: States and settled in western Pennsylvania because of mornings like this.
- 28:47Speaker 8: Because it felt like home to them. Like, oh, just
- 28:51Speaker 8: like Dunedin. I love it. So that's how they all
- 28:55Speaker 8: wound up here, working in the mines. Not unlike the
- 28:58Speaker 8: strip mine that's right behind me. The former strip mine
- 29:00Speaker 8: that became the resting place of 45 souls at the
- 29:06Speaker 8: end of the... tragic flight of Flight 93 here in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
- 29:12Speaker 8: We'll get back into that. But the dual purpose on
- 29:15Speaker 8: that is also it is the first anniversary of the
- 29:17Speaker 8: assassination of Charlie Kirk, who, believe it or not, is being,
- 29:23Speaker 8: with the exception of the network he was working for,
- 29:25Speaker 8: the network he worked for or did a radio show for,
- 29:29Speaker 8: they can't stop talking about Charlie Kirk. I don't even
- 29:33Speaker 8: think they're covering the RNC conventionally. It's all Charlie Kirk 24-7.
- 29:39Speaker 8: So that may be too much, but we certainly send
- 29:42Speaker 8: a nod to a guy that I fought for very
- 29:45Speaker 8: hard to get his show on stations that I can't
- 29:48Speaker 8: claim that I used to run because that part of
- 29:50Speaker 8: my resume has been redacted. Dr. Clark is on the
- 29:53Speaker 8: line with us at 434-882-4217. Clark, good morning, sir. What's
- 30:00Speaker 8: on your mind? Well, let's see.
- 30:02Speaker 19: I just want to make sure I'm on the right
- 30:05Speaker 19: page here with the dissatisfaction with the job that Donald
- 30:10Speaker 19: Trump's done. Now, he's been back in office for two years.
- 30:13Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 30:14Speaker 19: He's faced opposition from both political parties, as far as
- 30:19Speaker 19: I can see, the mainstream media, global cabals, Islamofascism, and
- 30:24Speaker 19: the global communist movement.
- 30:26Speaker 3: And in this two years.
- 30:28Speaker 19: He has failed to reduce, or rather reverse, at least
- 30:34Speaker 19: 100 years of bad fiscal policy by our government, 40
- 30:39Speaker 19: or 50 years of efforts to reduce our ability to
- 30:47Speaker 19: produce our own energy through environmentalism.
- 30:52Speaker 8: Let's see, what else? He's failed to undo.
- 30:58Speaker 19: Everything that Barack Obama and Biden did are allowed to happen.
- 31:03Speaker 8: Well, he's tried.
- 31:05Speaker 19: In two years' time. So I guess what? I'm supposed
- 31:08Speaker 19: to stay home this coming election because I'm dissatisfied?
- 31:11Speaker 10: Yep.
- 31:11Speaker 19: Is that where we are?
- 31:12Speaker 8: Oh, you nailed it. That is exactly what they want
- 31:14Speaker 8: you to do. This is one of those great voter
- 31:18Speaker 8: suppression movements. This is why I brought up the young
- 31:21Speaker 8: lady's email from months ago where her parents, her dad fought.
- 31:27Speaker 8: And her mom held the home front during World War II.
- 31:30Speaker 8: And she's like, I can't believe these people are complaining
- 31:33Speaker 8: about the price of gas here. But it's what we
- 31:37Speaker 8: have now. It is the world we're in now. It
- 31:41Speaker 8: is insular. It is, to a great degree, personal. And therefore,
- 31:49Speaker 8: I don't look at the grander scale. And one of
- 31:51Speaker 8: the crippling things that I get criticized about all the
- 31:54Speaker 8: time on this program is that it would be far
- 31:57Speaker 8: easier for me to get affiliates, to spread our word,
- 32:00Speaker 8: to take this Virginia way into as many ears as
- 32:04Speaker 8: possible if I just hit the high notes, if I
- 32:08Speaker 8: just hit the talking points the way everyone else does
- 32:11Speaker 8: and stop talking about things in bigger abstract. It would
- 32:16Speaker 8: make me more money, I'd be more famous, whatever it is.
- 32:20Speaker 8: I can't lie to you that way. I can't say
- 32:24Speaker 8: that You know, the higher gas prices are great because
- 32:27Speaker 8: we spent four years saying they sucked under Joe Biden, which,
- 32:31Speaker 8: by the way, just a quick note, they were higher
- 32:33Speaker 8: under Joe Biden anyway. But the point you're making is,
- 32:37Speaker 8: I think that President Trump is being blamed for things
- 32:43Speaker 8: he shouldn't be blamed for in an effort to drive
- 32:46Speaker 8: down voter turnout. Am I correct?
- 32:49Speaker 14: Yes.
- 32:49Speaker 19: Now, if we're going to talk price of gas. When
- 32:53Speaker 19: Barry was president and it was four-something a gallon, the
- 32:57Speaker 19: money that you were buying gas with was worth twice
- 33:00Speaker 19: what it is now.
- 33:02Speaker 8: Oh, that's a good point. Yeah, the inflation that started
- 33:05Speaker 8: after COVID, yeah, you've got a great point on there.
- 33:09Speaker 19: That was $ 9 a gallon gasoline in today's money.
- 33:13Speaker 8: Yep, yep. And when you look at the devaluation of it.
- 33:17Speaker 8: But here's the other thing. I mean, I don't think
- 33:19Speaker 8: it is an unfair question to say what happened with
- 33:21Speaker 8: all the Venezuelan stuff. And I don't think it's unfair
- 33:24Speaker 8: to say that President Trump probably should do some more
- 33:28Speaker 8: FDR fireside deals so that the American people understand what
- 33:33Speaker 8: the hell is going on and not just try to
- 33:36Speaker 8: kibitz with the press and the Oval Office and hope
- 33:38Speaker 8: the message gets out.
- 33:41Speaker 19: Well, communication is key. And I'm not in the meetings
- 33:47Speaker 19: and whatnot. I do think he's constantly got things in play.
- 33:52Speaker 19: And if he tells us what's going on, he's told
- 33:54Speaker 19: everybody else what's going on, which probably makes it more
- 33:57Speaker 19: difficult to get done what he wants to do. Now,
- 34:00Speaker 19: how many refineries did Joe Biden close?
- 34:03Speaker 8: Major refinery? Well, just in our flagship state of Virginia,
- 34:07Speaker 8: three of them.
- 34:09Speaker 19: He closed 15 refineries the last part of his administration.
- 34:14Speaker 8: Oh, I'm sorry. You said refineries. I was thinking electric
- 34:18Speaker 8: generating plants. I'm sorry. No, we didn't have any refineries
- 34:22Speaker 8: in Virginia. But, yeah, and that's part of our problem.
- 34:25Speaker 8: Our supply chain problem in fuel isn't getting the crude oil.
- 34:29Speaker 8: It's turning it into stuff.
- 34:31Speaker 19: Well, so, look, if you mow my grass close, it
- 34:38Speaker 19: might take a couple weeks.
- 34:39Speaker 8: To grow back, Joe. If you go snatch it out
- 34:41Speaker 8: by the roots.
- 34:44Speaker 19: I'm not going to have grass to mow in a
- 34:46Speaker 19: couple weeks. If you get rid of our refineries, I
- 34:51Speaker 19: don't care how much more crude oil you have, we're
- 34:55Speaker 19: not going to get gasoline for a while.
- 34:57Speaker 8: But you see, they played us. But this is the
- 34:59Speaker 8: way they played us, Clark. is they played us into
- 35:06Speaker 8: talking about barrels of oil, not gallons of fuel that
- 35:11Speaker 8: were made from them. And so while they had everybody
- 35:14Speaker 8: in the press saying, well, this is how many barrels
- 35:16Speaker 8: of oil we're importing today, or this is the price
- 35:19Speaker 8: of crude oil in the barrel, we still have to,
- 35:22Speaker 8: you know what, send it to Saudi Arabia to get refined.
- 35:26Speaker 8: And so even, you know, and this is what the
- 35:28Speaker 8: Strait of Hormuz deal has been a problem for, is that,
- 35:32Speaker 8: you know, while The battles have been going on, and
- 35:35Speaker 8: Iran is playing tin-pot dictator with the Strait of Hormuz.
- 35:41Speaker 8: Those ships have to go out that way to get
- 35:44Speaker 8: the oil refined. There's too much of it going on
- 35:48Speaker 8: there because the Western world, like you said, climbed up
- 35:51Speaker 8: on the pool table in the wake of the Green
- 35:55Speaker 8: New Deal and the fellow who lost that 2000 presidential election.
- 36:00Speaker 19: Now, Russia.
- 36:00Speaker 8: I've heard of it.
- 36:03Speaker 19: Net exporter of fossil fuels.
- 36:07Speaker 4: Yep.
- 36:07Speaker 2: Not anymore.
- 36:10Speaker 19: Now they're an importer. How much does that affect the
- 36:14Speaker 19: global market? There's a lot of things going on here.
- 36:17Speaker 8: And, you know, I.
- 36:19Speaker 19: Think what's happened with Iran is wonderful. And I come
- 36:25Speaker 19: to the table with the perspective of October the 23rd, 1983.
- 36:28Speaker 17: Mm-hmm.
- 36:28Speaker 19: Mm-hmm. And if we'd have paid more attention to that,
- 36:35Speaker 19: maybe we wouldn't have had a 9-11. I'll note, the
- 36:37Speaker 19: thing we learned from history is we don't learn much
- 36:40Speaker 19: from history. So there's that.
- 36:44Speaker 8: Well, yeah, and one of the things about the terrorism
- 36:47Speaker 8: that Iran has sponsored for decades, it goes back, and
- 36:53Speaker 8: I know people like to play Greg Brady and exact words,
- 36:56Speaker 8: where the Barbary pirates, obviously, they were from Tripoli. But
- 37:00Speaker 8: they were still the radical Islamists that are running Tehran now.
- 37:04Speaker 8: They've put on different headgear or whatever. And when Thomas
- 37:09Speaker 8: Jefferson met them, talked to them, and came back, he said,
- 37:12Speaker 8: we're going to need a war to end this. And
- 37:14Speaker 8: nobody listened to him. And John Adams said, maybe we
- 37:17Speaker 8: can pay them off. And we've been paying them off
- 37:19Speaker 8: and paying them off and paying them off for 240 years.
- 37:24Speaker 8: So now Thomas Jefferson's words are coming home to roost.
- 37:29Speaker 8: And he was the most singularly pacifist founding father. And
- 37:36Speaker 8: he said after meeting the radical Islamists that we're going
- 37:40Speaker 8: to be in need of some sort of conflict to
- 37:44Speaker 8: end this. But anyway, Clark, I appreciate it as always. Sir,
- 37:48Speaker 8: you have a great morning.
- 37:50Speaker 19: Keep doing it.
- 37:51Speaker 8: Always do.
- 37:52Speaker 4: 434-882-4217.
- 37:52Speaker 8: Wrapping up festivities from here. On the day before September 11th.
- 38:01Speaker 20: At Hot Shot Secret, we share the science behind common
- 38:04Speaker 20: diesel problems and their solutions.
- 38:06Speaker 8: For example, diesel fuel cetane levels.
- 38:08Speaker 20: In many states, the cetane rating in diesel fuel is
- 38:12Speaker 20: 42 to 45. Most diesel engines operate more efficiently with
- 38:15Speaker 20: a cetane rating of 48 to 50. One treatment of
- 38:18Speaker 20: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your cetane seven points,
- 38:22Speaker 20: increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts. Due to a
- 38:25Speaker 20: cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons and particulate matter in
- 38:28Speaker 20: your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of your diesel particulate filter.
- 38:32Speaker 20: Using Diesel Extreme generates 83% less DPF regenerations. The 6-in-1
- 38:38Speaker 20: Diesel Extreme formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on
- 38:42Speaker 20: the market. Lubricity enhancer, water demulsifier, rust and corrosion inhibitors,
- 38:47Speaker 20: and a fuel stabilizer.
- 38:49Speaker 3: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme is available nationwide at truck stops,
- 38:52Speaker 3: fine farm and auto stores, and online at hotshotsecret.com.

- 40:02Speaker 17: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
- 40:05Speaker 17: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
- 40:09Speaker 17: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
- 40:14Speaker 5: Oh, yes!
- 40:15Speaker 15: Yes!
- 40:16Speaker 17: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
- 40:21Speaker 17: favorite form of ear candy. Oh, my. Those bejeweled sprinkles
- 40:25Speaker 17: have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
- 40:28Speaker 5: Shh.
- 40:29Speaker 8: Do you smell that?
- 40:32Speaker 17: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
- 40:39Speaker 2: And with every item.
- 40:40Speaker 17: You buy, you fund local job training and more. So
- 40:44Speaker 17: go forth. Bring home those donut earrings and bring home
- 40:49Speaker 17: so much good to your community.
- 40:54Speaker 10: Goodwill.
- 40:55Speaker 17: Bring good home.
- 40:58Speaker 14: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 41:03Speaker 14: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
- 41:08Speaker 14: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 41:12Speaker 14: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 41:15Speaker 14: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 41:22Speaker 14: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 41:24Speaker 14: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:28Speaker 14: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:33Speaker 14: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
- 41:36Speaker 14: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

- 42:55Speaker 7: On our first date?
- 42:56Speaker 16: Sure.
- 42:57Speaker 4: We'll probably stay together.
- 42:59Speaker 20: Probably?
- 42:59Speaker 21: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
- 43:03Speaker 2: I can probably swim.
- 43:05Speaker 19: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
- 43:08Speaker 17: Okay, don't tell me what to do.

- 43:26Speaker 10: Ready to go?
- 43:27Speaker 7: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 43:29Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:35Speaker 15: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking

- 44:12Speaker 3: Here is the sound of thousands of sounds. First thing
- 44:15Speaker 3: today by Joe Thomas on the.
- 44:17Speaker 5: Talk Media Network. I know you're out there. You're in hiding.
- 44:24Speaker 5: You heard your music. Thank you for letting us be
- 44:53Speaker 5: of service to you.
- 44:56Speaker 8: Oh, and now the e-mails, jtinthemorningradio at gmail.com, text messages
- 45:01Speaker 8: 434- That is the phone number for text messaging this morning.
- 45:11Speaker 8: I like this one. This is why slogans are a problem, JT.
- 45:18Speaker 8: Instead of drill, baby, drill, it should have been refine, baby, refine.
- 45:24Speaker 8: That's the difference between a politician.
- 45:28Speaker 3: And a.
- 45:31Speaker 8: Popularity contest winner. There is a lot to what you say.
- 45:42Speaker 8: But I don't think Donald Trump got into office and
- 45:45Speaker 8: just said, hey, I said drill, baby, drill, so whether
- 45:48Speaker 8: we have refining capacities or not, just do it. Somewhere
- 45:56Speaker 8: the Secretary of Energy should have said, hey, we need
- 45:59Speaker 8: more refining capability. And we didn't do that. My brother-in-law
- 46:07Speaker 8: works for Verizon, and he made a point to me
- 46:12Speaker 8: in the wake of September 11th, I guess it was,
- 46:15Speaker 8: we probably were early 2002, it was pre-Patriot Act, but
- 46:22Speaker 8: he said to me, he said, Joe, you know what
- 46:23Speaker 8: the difference between war and terrorism is? And I said, no, Chris,
- 46:28Speaker 8: what is it? He said, that building right there with
- 46:30Speaker 8: the big American flag on it. It was a picture
- 46:33Speaker 8: of the pit. is what they called the pile of
- 46:36Speaker 8: rubble where the World Trade Centers had stood. And they said, well,
- 46:41Speaker 8: what do you mean? He said, in war, they would
- 46:44Speaker 8: have left the two buildings, the two towers standing and
- 46:48Speaker 8: blown up that one. And it was an indescript little
- 46:51Speaker 8: red brick office building. It was, and every town has
- 46:56Speaker 8: one of these. It's like the communication link to all
- 47:01Speaker 8: of at least southern Manhattan. It was just an indescript
- 47:08Speaker 8: little red building. But Manhattan Island would have been sent
- 47:14Speaker 8: back to the 18th century if you blew that one up.
- 47:20Speaker 8: Blow up the ones next to it, everyone goes, oh
- 47:22Speaker 8: my God, of course 3,000 people dead, and it's shocking
- 47:26Speaker 8: and it's terrorizing. But it wasn't war in the way
- 47:31Speaker 8: that a general would say, take that red brick building out.
- 47:38Speaker 8: So there's a point to what you're saying is that there's,
- 47:43Speaker 8: you know, the sloganeering of drill, baby, drill certainly was
- 47:46Speaker 8: compelling and made its point. But within that campaign, once
- 47:52Speaker 8: you're in office, then it needs to become refine, baby, refine.
- 48:02Speaker 8: And so, you know, this one, but I like this email,
- 48:05Speaker 8: Sandra says, writes in to JTInTheMorningRadio at gmail.com. She said, Joe,
- 48:18Speaker 8: you need to grow up. The government shot down Flight 93.
- 48:23Speaker 8: I knew I was going to get some of those
- 48:27Speaker 8: this morning. We were here. And shot Charlie Kirk. so
- 48:37Speaker 8: that we will turn to them for security, just like
- 48:42Speaker 8: we did with the Patriot Act. I wasn't listening to
- 48:45Speaker 8: you at the time. I hear you say that you
- 48:48Speaker 8: protested the Patriot Act to Tom Ridge himself. Well, good
- 48:52Speaker 8: for you. It didn't help because we now have flock
- 48:55Speaker 8: cameras and police officers at the other end of it
- 48:58Speaker 8: rounding up the usual suspects. The only difference between the
- 49:02Speaker 8: two government parties, Joe, Sandra goes on to write, is
- 49:06Speaker 8: that Democrats want to take money from the middle class
- 49:12Speaker 8: and give it to the poor. The Republicans want to
- 49:15Speaker 8: take money from the middle class and give it to
- 49:18Speaker 8: the corporations. I don't follow that because I've looked, Sandra,
- 49:26Speaker 8: and I'm not saying you're wrong in your viewpoint. I
- 49:29Speaker 8: believe that it has been driven by other media outlets
- 49:33Speaker 8: saying that to you. And it's a compelling thing and
- 49:36Speaker 8: it makes us feel better And I guess part of
- 49:39Speaker 8: doing morning radio is that I'm supposed to be here
- 49:42Speaker 8: making you feel better But but the truth of the
- 49:45Speaker 8: matter is if you look at which political party has
- 49:49Speaker 8: spent more time and effort Making sure money got trafficked
- 49:53Speaker 8: into the pockets of corporations You would be surprised and
- 49:57Speaker 8: it isn't who you said who you think it is
- 50:01Speaker 8: Do we need to fix this situation absolutely because I
- 50:04Speaker 8: think it is a unifying voice and I think it
- 50:08Speaker 8: is a unifying voice, but there's a truth to what's
- 50:11Speaker 8: actually going on on Wall Street versus Main Street and
- 50:14Speaker 8: all of that that neither political party wants you looking at.
- 50:18Speaker 8: This is part and parcel of the World Wrestling Federation
- 50:21Speaker 8: style games that they play in front of you. Does
- 50:29Speaker 8: a government want its citizens to do what it says?
- 50:33Speaker 4: Sure.
- 50:34Speaker 11: Sure.
- 50:37Speaker 8: Thus the name. I mean, to govern means to restrict
- 50:41Speaker 8: in and of itself. But we are the first government
- 50:48Speaker 8: that says that we will choose the form in which
- 50:52Speaker 8: we are governed. So we get to have a say
- 50:56Speaker 8: in it. And one of the things we've lost, here
- 50:58Speaker 8: it comes, can you hear it trundling up the path, Sandra,
- 51:03Speaker 8: is getting congressional districts back to the sizes that they
- 51:07Speaker 8: were proposed to be in the original Bill of Rights.
- 51:14Speaker 8: Because if we can do that, then we can change
- 51:20Speaker 8: those people who are making those decisions. We can limit
- 51:23Speaker 8: their power to just what we want it to be.
- 51:32Speaker 8: we can limit their authority because the whole point of
- 51:36Speaker 8: this government, as it was written out 240 years ago, Sandra,
- 51:42Speaker 8: was to have a very small amount of things that
- 51:46Speaker 8: the government can handle and to be responsible with. And
- 51:51Speaker 8: the more and more that we've let the government become
- 51:54Speaker 8: responsible for things, the worse and worse things have gotten.
- 51:58Speaker 8: I think you and I can agree on that. So
- 52:00Speaker 8: I appreciate the email, Sandra, and thank you. Like I mentioned,
- 52:04Speaker 8: Ambassador Jim Gilmore tomorrow morning, Senator George Allen is going
- 52:10Speaker 8: to be on the program tomorrow morning as well as
- 52:13Speaker 8: we commemorate the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on
- 52:20Speaker 8: this country using our own world against us. And whatever
- 52:31Speaker 8: methodology they use, they want to get you to comply
- 52:35Speaker 8: with them. That's what they have to do. So again,
- 52:38Speaker 8: tomorrow morning live from Shanksville, BigRidgeGuns.com and Heritage, HistoricSites.Heritage.com. So
- 52:45Speaker 8: long and thanks for all the fish.
- 52:51Speaker 13: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
- 52:54Speaker 13: feels like even a family road trip is taking a risk.
