  Speaker 9: They tell you the stories. We brought up Hunter S.
• 0:51
  Speaker 9: Thompson earlier this morning and his gonzo journalism, which by
• 0:59
  Speaker 9: his definition was, if I didn't have a story, I
• 1:02
  Speaker 9: made one up. and how that impacts our news coverage.
• 1:07
  Speaker 9: We want to tell a good story. We want to
• 1:09
  Speaker 9: sell versions of whatever it is we publish, whether it's
• 1:13
  Speaker 9: a Substack page or a radio broadcast. We all want
• 1:18
  Speaker 9: to tell good stories. See, the difference is my story
• 1:22
  Speaker 9: is your story. My story is about what you need
• 1:27
  Speaker 9: to know so that when the narrative junkies, when Hal
• 1:32
  Speaker 9: Holbrook walks out on.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: Stage, what? He's an actor. I think he's very old.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: He hasn't passed already. Played the storyteller.
• 1:43
  Speaker 9: On Our Town. Our Town, it was a play. Come on, Joe,
• 1:53
  Speaker 9: talk rent. Okay, rent is sort of like Our Town,
• 1:58
  Speaker 9: only not. But like Hal Holbrook, I walk out here

  Speaker 9: and our friends in the press want out and they
• 2:06
  Speaker 9: want to tell you what's going on on stage, even
• 2:09
  Speaker 9: if you're watching it. That's what we should do, a
• 2:13
  Speaker 9: modern version of our town where the narrator isn't telling
• 2:19
  Speaker 9: you what's actually going on. We'll just pull, you know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 9: 10 or 11 Trump stories, you know, starting with very
• 2:27
  Speaker 9: fine people, etc.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: etc.
• 2:29
  Speaker 9: And then we can just Have the narrator be a
• 2:33
  Speaker 9: network news.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: We'll make a logo that looks like CNN.
• 2:39
  Speaker 9: You know, I can find an actress that looks like
• 2:41
  Speaker 9: Caitlin Collins, right? I mean, heck, you know, we could
• 2:45
  Speaker 9: get any number of unemployed ones. I bet you Maria
• 2:47
  Speaker 9: Bartiromo would do it. This is our town 2026 or
• 2:52
  Speaker 9: Trump's town. Where all the things, oh, I love this.
• 3:01
  Speaker 9: This is actually, you know, this is weird feeling. But
• 3:05
  Speaker 9: I'm actually serious about doing this.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Wouldn't you be?
• 3:10
  Speaker 9: We think about what we do here every morning, which
• 3:15
  Speaker 9: is tell you the truth behind all the stories that
• 3:18
  Speaker 9: you're told as truth in the news.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: Oh, we could do it with everything. Climate change. Hamas.

  Speaker 9: the play Our Town. Somebody get to work on that.
• 3:35
  Speaker 9: I've got to do this here. I've got first things
• 3:38
  Speaker 9: going here. See, Amazon, this is interesting. So after much
• 3:43
  Speaker 9: protest and hand-nashing over data centers, Amazon said, okay, okay,
• 3:49
  Speaker 9: what if we put a billion dollars into communities where
• 3:53
  Speaker 9: our data centers are to give to education, job training,
• 3:58
  Speaker 9: water and energy preservation projects, and other priorities as long
• 4:02
  Speaker 9: as everyone votes, or I mean 50% of whoever shows
• 4:06
  Speaker 9: up votes in favor of it. Matt Garman, Amazon's CEO
• 4:14
  Speaker 9: for the cloud computing arm, said that Amazon is no
• 4:19
  Speaker 9: longer using non-disclosure agreements. with government agencies that works with
• 4:26
  Speaker 9: it on projects. Federal Judge Friday issued an emergency injunction
• 4:32

  Speaker 9: since 2017.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Yes, they're looking.
• 5:24
  Speaker 9: Hey, make sure Mac's contract is all up. I don't
• 5:28
  Speaker 9: need Mac all of a sudden as the next Tony Romo,
• 5:31
  Speaker 9: because he'd pull it off, too. According to a New
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: York Times report, Republicans and Democrats are waging an expansive
• 5:40
  Speaker 9: legal battle over election rules ahead of the 2026 midterms, which,
• 5:46
  Speaker 9: by the way, culminate in like a month. Guys are
• 5:49
  Speaker 9: fixing the barn door after the horses are gone, perhaps.
• 5:55
  Speaker 9: The report says Republicans are using the courts to pursue
• 5:58
  Speaker 9: information about potential non-citizen voters, while Democrats are preparing legal
• 6:04
  Speaker 9: fights over what they say are restrictions in voting rights.
• 6:09
  Speaker 9: And I've explained to you how both sides can be
• 6:13
  Speaker 9: in their minds anyway. True, but that's the time we
• 6:16
  Speaker 9: have for this particular First Things Today. We'll come back

  Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,

• 8:05
  Speaker 6: optimized curcumin is one of the few bioavailable and highly
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi, I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

  Speaker 10: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 10: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 10: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 10: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 11: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 12: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 12: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 12: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 12: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 12: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 12: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 12: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:17
  Speaker 12: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 12: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 12: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 12: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 12: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
• 10:33
  Speaker 12: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 12: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 12: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 12: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 12: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:47
  Speaker 12: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 12: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 12: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 13: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 14: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 15: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 15: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 13: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 11: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:26
  Speaker 16: Boop!
• 11:28
  Speaker 11: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 11: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 11: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 11: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 11: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can

  Speaker 16: As a family member or friend you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 16: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 16: going through changes things like withdrawing drinking more or increased
• 12:40

• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Talk radio just the way your mother used to make it.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:25
  Speaker 9: You know, I never played the narrator in Our Town,
• 13:30
  Speaker 9: but I did get to play Vince Fontaine.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: You know, rarely, I'm not a theater guy.
• 13:45
  Speaker 9: I've seen Cats and a couple of other things on
• 13:48
  Speaker 9: Broadway and such. I just don't know what you do
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: with two $ 300 tickets to a play. But when I
• 13:58
  Speaker 9: was asked, because I was a DJ, if I could
• 14:01
  Speaker 9: help out promote this performance, this touring company's Grease performance,
• 14:07
  Speaker 9: because I was a DJ, they said, well, you can
• 14:09
  Speaker 9: play Vince Fontaine. And I said, sure, because the only
• 14:13
  Speaker 9: experience I had had with the Broadway show Grease was
• 14:17
  Speaker 9: the film depiction of it. And I had no idea.
• 14:25
  Speaker 9: that Vince Fontaine was a statutory rapist. And I guess
• 14:31
  Speaker 9: you could use the word pedophile. You take the role,
• 14:36
  Speaker 9: and then all of a sudden you realize, holy crap,
• 14:40
  Speaker 9: I'm picking up teenage girls and getting them pregnant. And
• 14:46
  Speaker 9: the whole part of that story just left out of
• 14:49
  Speaker 9: the movie.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: Just left out of the movie. Whole part of it.
• 14:54
  Speaker 9: But I really like this idea of remaking Our Town.
• 15:01
  Speaker 9: Make it Our Town 2026, where the narrator is actually
• 15:06
  Speaker 9: a CNN anchor.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: There's a big White House up on the hill. Yeah,
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: there's a big White House.
• 15:11
  Speaker 17: Up on the hill.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: Right here is the grocery store, and here's Mr.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: Morgan's drug store.
• 15:19
  Speaker 9: That's, of course, one of Zorhan Mamdani's grocery stores. But
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: the The narrator, instead of walking around a little diorama
• 15:25
  Speaker 9: of Grover's Corners, just would be sitting behind a CNN
• 15:30
  Speaker 9: news desk and mistelling the stories that would be going
• 15:34
  Speaker 9: on behind them. And we could use the juxtaposition to
• 15:38
  Speaker 9: show how the story really played out and how the
• 15:41
  Speaker 9: narrator actually lied to you about what was going on.
• 15:45
  Speaker 9: And it would be curious to see how the audience
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: would react. Would they believe the narrator? or what they
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: actually saw happening behind them. I mean, you could do it.
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: It would take more lawyers to do it with real stories.
• 16:01
  Speaker 9: Or if you were creative, you could write your own
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: stories that get misreported by the fake news. I mean,
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: you wouldn't call it fake news because I wouldn't want
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: half the audience to just not show up because it's
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: titled fake news.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: It would be great.
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: I think it would be as important as anything. And
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: it would get ruined when it got turned into a
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: movie as well. Let me get to Clark here on
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: the line with us this Saturday morning at 434-882-4217. Good morning, Clark.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: How are you?
• 16:33
  Speaker 17: I'm all good. So I have the answer to your question,
• 16:35
  Speaker 17: what to do with two $ 300 theater tickets.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: Okay. Scalp them.
• 16:43
  Speaker 9: Go pay for dinner on Broadway, which costs about as much.
• 16:47
  Speaker 18: There you go.
• 16:47
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 16:48
  Speaker 17: So, Joe, it's October, and I'm not surprised.
• 16:54
  Speaker 9: That it became October? There's this thing we have now, Clark.
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: It's called a calendar, and it comes with 12 pages.
• 17:03
  Speaker 17: And just like October follows September, we got these surprises.
• 17:08
  Speaker 17: Let's see. What is the campaign strategy for the Democrats
• 17:13
  Speaker 17: right now? Let's see. affordability brought to us by Bidenflation.
• 17:18
  Speaker 17: Anytime they coin a new term or phrase, you know
• 17:21
  Speaker 17: they're up to something. And so there's your affordability. Our
• 17:25
  Speaker 17: pain at the pump is their political ploy. Name me
• 17:29
  Speaker 17: the Republican that shut a refinery down. I'd like to know.
• 17:33
  Speaker 17: How much did crude drop yesterday, Joe? $ 20 a barrel?
• 17:36
  Speaker 15: Yep.
• 17:37
  Speaker 17: How much has your gas come down today?
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: Um, actually, you know, to be fair in Virginia, it is,
• 17:45
  Speaker 9: and I don't know why it is, but it seems
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: to be more reactive. It might be because we have,
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: I think, a refinery here in Virginia. Um, so there,
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: there is a more direct correlation. I don't think it's
• 17:58
  Speaker 9: come down that kind of percentage.
• 18:01
  Speaker 17: Um, certainly, um, it might've come down, um, 3% or 4%,
• 18:06
  Speaker 17: but not 20%.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: Not 20%. Absolutely.
• 18:11
  Speaker 17: The restriction on our flow of oil is not and
• 18:14
  Speaker 17: has not been the Strait of Hormuz. It's the refineries
• 18:18
  Speaker 17: and the commodity traders. And then we've got Georgetta Floyd.
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: Georgetta Floyd. Yes. The young lady's.
• 18:28
  Speaker 17: Name and the Cornell 7.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:32
  Speaker 17: The James fiasco. You know, hey. When absolutely positively you
• 18:38
  Speaker 17: don't want somebody to get a fair shake, get Letitia.
• 18:41
  Speaker 11: She'll do it.
• 18:42
  Speaker 17: She'll persecute anybody.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Campaign slogan for you.
• 18:47
  Speaker 17: You automatically know it's a bogus prosecution by the prosecutor.
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: Here's the question that came up in my mind over this.
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: And like I said, my dad's a Cornelian. My grandfather's
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: a Cornelian. My aunt's a Cornelian. About, you know, it
• 19:05
  Speaker 9: died with my generation. Me, my sister, my cousins, none
• 19:10
  Speaker 9: of us went to Cornell. But Cornell is not a
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: hotbed of conservatives running around in Ithaca, New York. I'm sorry,
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: it's not. So these grabastic frat boys have more in
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: common with William J. Clinton than they do Ronald W.
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: Reagan. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute.
• 19:32
  Speaker 9: If they're grabastic frat boys.
• 19:36
  Speaker 17: Back the truck up. When's the last time a group
• 19:40
  Speaker 17: of conservatives got together with ketamine, alcohol, and co-eds and
• 19:47
  Speaker 17: had an orgy?
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: I want to know.
• 19:49
  Speaker 17: Where did this take?
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: Place?
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: I mean, I could say something snarky that's funny, but
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: I'm not going to do it right in this moment.
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 19:57
  Speaker 17: And on this Epstein thing, Joe, is Vicki Lawrence still alive?
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: I don't believe so. Then again, I didn't know how
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: Holbrook was.
• 20:10
  Speaker 17: Maybe we can get Reba. That's the night the lights
• 20:13
  Speaker 17: went out in the cell block. That's the night they
• 20:16
  Speaker 17: shut the mouth of a guilty man. You know, I
• 20:21
  Speaker 17: distinctly remember, now this is in regards to Whitewater, but
• 20:25
  Speaker 17: you can extrapolate.
• 20:29
  Speaker 11: I don't believe you can.
• 20:30
  Speaker 17: Find any credible evidence of wrongdoing in that matter.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: Oh, I know. The credible evidence. I mean, Bill Clinton.
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: I just watched most of the episodes of that documentary.
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: The last one, they make you pay for it. So
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: I watched the free ones.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: I lived it.
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: I was on the air. By the way, Vicki Lawrence
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: is still alive.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 20:58
  Speaker 17: Let's get her number.
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: The Clinton era, and you watch him testify, and the
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: video in this thing of his testimony.
• 21:10
  Speaker 9: When he's sitting down with the special prosecutor, is stunning.
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: And he's pulling all of the legal words that you
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: would use, credible words like that, that are designed to
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: taint the field. But here was the point I made
• 21:25
  Speaker 9: about that documentary. And I think the point needs to
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: be made about all prosecutions. The reason Ken Starr went
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: after Clinton for lying about the affair is was to
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: impeach his testimony regarding Whitewater. What happened with that? Where
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: did that go? Once you had established that he lied
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: under oath, you're supposed to impeach his testimony about Whitewater,
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: but they never went there.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: Why? What was the quid pro quo?
• 21:55
  Speaker 17: It's like dust in the wind, poof.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: Gone, bye.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44
• 22:05

  Speaker 19: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
• 23:14
  Speaker 19: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:16
  Speaker 19: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: That's what you should use.
• 23:22
  Speaker 19: But there are exceptions to the rule. Many high-end or
• 23:25
  Speaker 19: luxury vehicles call for premium or higher octane fuel. And
• 23:28
  Speaker 19: the reason for this is not just due to the
• 23:30
  Speaker 19: octane rating. There are better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels.
• 23:34
  Speaker 19: Gasoline companies know, too, that vehicles that run on premium
• 23:37
  Speaker 19: won't perform as well with carbon deposits. So they pack
• 23:39
  Speaker 19: more cleaning power into their premium fuels than their regular blend.
• 23:43
  Speaker 19: If you rotate your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful,
• 23:46
  Speaker 19: you may find better performance and miles per gallon because
• 23:49
  Speaker 19: you are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.

  Speaker 6: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few

  Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin.

• 24:12
  Speaker 6: Hi, I'm Dr.

  Speaker 2: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation has antioxidant
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: properties and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: at least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 24:46

  Speaker 5: Who's with me?

  Speaker 20: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,

  Speaker 6: somebody call me a ride.

  Speaker 3: Me too.

• 26:29
  Speaker 11: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 11: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home

  Speaker 11: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can

• 26:53
  Speaker 11: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 11: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read

  Speaker 11: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you

  Speaker 11: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it

  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:20
  Speaker 15: Well, actually....
• 28:33
  Speaker 9: It was Thursday. I made the point about the abortion,
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: the pro-abortion crowd is that they are so successful at
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: rebranding things like Hamas is just a marginalized community and
• 28:47
  Speaker 9: that kind of thing, that this is women's health care.
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: I had posited that you should rebrand pregnancy as just
• 28:59
  Speaker 9: a bad case of loving you. And Kevin wrote in,
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: I lost my coffee all over my dashboard, Joe, when
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: you said that. A bad case of loving you? I
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: laughed out loud and then thought about it, and I
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: really think that's where we're headed. A pregnancy is not
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: the start of life. It's just something that happens when
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: you have sex.
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: He writes something else about orgasms. I'm not going to read.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: But Kevin, I appreciate that.
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: And maybe it does happen more frequently, but I'm not
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: going there with it. I appreciate that. Clark with us
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: at 434-882-4217. Cornell 7. And I know that there's the
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: political ramifications, but we're talking about real people who get
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: trampled in these Look at whether it's the Duke lacrosse
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: team or rape on campus, the Rolling Stone piece. There are,
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: because of these phony baloney gonzo journalism, Rolling Stone, Hunter S.
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: Thompson kind of things, real people get hurt.
• 30:16
  Speaker 17: Suicide somebody that can testify about what's in files before
• 30:23
  Speaker 17: you've gotten rid of what was in the.
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: Files, okay? Well, yeah, there is that.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: This whole deal about.
• 30:30
  Speaker 17: You know, Trump won't release the entirety of the Epstein files.
• 30:34
  Speaker 17: That boat sailed about 20, 25 years ago.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 30:40
  Speaker 17: That stuff has long since been purged, and there was
• 30:44
  Speaker 17: no point whatsoever in suiciding Epstein.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: If the stuff was still in there.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: Why would you do that? Right.
• 30:52
  Speaker 9: There's no need to, because then you have the evidence.
• 30:54
  Speaker 9: It's just like we said about crossfire hurricanes. If Donald
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: Trump was complicit with Epstein, they don't need to do
• 31:02
  Speaker 9: Crossfire Hurricane.
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 31:05
  Speaker 17: Or Arctic Cross.
• 31:06
  Speaker 9: But that's the issue with this Epstein, and there's a
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: doctor who's profiting, and there's nothing wrong with it. He
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: has a different view. He reminds me of Dr. Michael Bodden,
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: who was the guy who was in the OJ trial,
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: saying that he had looked at the forensics and said
• 31:26
  Speaker 9: this was– OJ couldn't have done it and that kind
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: of thing. This guy saying that Epstein didn't kill himself, fine.
• 31:44
  Speaker 9: But it comes down to then what is the goal?
• 31:47
  Speaker 9: What is the accomplishment of shutting him up? What things
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: is he going to say that doesn't jibe with what's
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: already in the public record? What does he say that
• 31:59
  Speaker 9: isn't going along with what's in the FBI files? And
• 32:08
  Speaker 9: those are the questions nobody is asking. Everyone's just asking,
• 32:12
  Speaker 9: is this true? And then, you know, of course, the
• 32:14
  Speaker 9: officials say, no, of course, it's not true.
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: It's a conspiracy theory.
• 32:19
  Speaker 9: Okay, then why would? Because you know a good investigation,
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: no matter who, whether it's a A rape on campus?
• 32:28
  Speaker 9: It begins with the why. Why is he.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: Dangerous?
• 32:36
  Speaker 9: If the question is why did he commit suicide, what
• 32:45
  Speaker 9: had he lost? What had driven him to this suicidal thought?
• 32:57
  Speaker 9: He knew people were coming to get him. He knew
• 33:07
  Speaker 9: people were coming to get him. He knew it was
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: coming apart. Why didn't he do it before he got arrested?
• 33:14
  Speaker 9: Is that a question the investigators asked? Didn't ask anyone
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: we know of. Why did he do it in jail?
• 33:29
  Speaker 9: What was he told in jail? What was he expecting
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: in jail? Was he expecting somebody to come along and say, oh, yeah,
• 33:36
  Speaker 9: you can't hold him because.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: He's with me? It's a reasonable question.
• 33:44
  Speaker 9: Was he expecting a get out of jail free card
• 33:46
  Speaker 9: that never came? There's certainly merit behind that question, because
• 34:00
  Speaker 9: that could be a reason somebody commits a suicide in
• 34:05
  Speaker 9: a jail cell, goes to the effort to, because you're
• 34:08
  Speaker 9: supposed to be trying not to. Or were there things
• 34:11
  Speaker 9: he was going to say if he didn't get out
• 34:15
  Speaker 9: of jail free card? And that's where you're going with that, Clark,
• 34:18
  Speaker 9: is there were things he was going to testify to,
• 34:21
  Speaker 9: much like Vince Foster and the Whitewater shreddings. Without the
• 34:30
  Speaker 9: shredded documents, the only proof was the testimony of the
• 34:34
  Speaker 9: guy who did the shredding. And this is why I
• 34:42
  Speaker 9: said my issue with the Whitewater investigation and really what
• 34:46
  Speaker 9: became Monica Gate was, as I understand the legal process,
• 34:53
  Speaker 9: what they were looking to do was impeach Bill Clinton's credibility,
• 35:00
  Speaker 9: not in the political sense, House files and the Senate trials.
• 35:06
  Speaker 9: But they were supposed to, or the point was, look
• 35:11
  Speaker 9: at how Bill Clinton lies under oath. He was under
• 35:15
  Speaker 9: oath when he told us he had nothing to do
• 35:17
  Speaker 9: with Whitewater, therefore we're impeaching his testimony regarding Whitewater. Where
• 35:25
  Speaker 9: The accusation was that he was using his office to
• 35:30
  Speaker 9: make himself and the.
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: McDougals a big old pile of money.
• 35:44
  Speaker 9: And Is this something that should have been more thoroughly
• 35:50
  Speaker 9: investigated before Bill Clinton had already become president? It's not
• 35:54
  Speaker 9: like we didn't know about Whitewater. Whitewater had already been
• 35:58
  Speaker 9: an investigation before he became president. But one of the
• 36:06
  Speaker 9: things that we do is we pull the strings back
• 36:10
  Speaker 9: on law enforcement who are looking into people who are
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: running for office.
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: Why do we do that?
• 36:18
  Speaker 9: Seems like those are the people we should have investigations into.
• 36:22
  Speaker 9: Because they want you to believe that law enforcement is
• 36:27
  Speaker 9: simply a, well, for lack of a better example, the
• 36:32
  Speaker 9: Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The IRGC is not the Iranian army.
• 36:39
  Speaker 9: It is a private police department whose only job is
• 36:45
  Speaker 9: to protect the mullahs in Iran.
• 36:48
  Speaker 15: Period.
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: They're more well-trained and more heavily armed than the Iranian army.
• 37:01
  Speaker 9: They're a political muscle machine. They're the ones who hang
• 37:05
  Speaker 9: the dissidents in town square. A story that I don't
• 37:08
  Speaker 9: think gets enough air is the fact that they have
• 37:11
  Speaker 9: tacitly endorsed Every Democrat for office, and I haven't heard
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: a single Democrat go out on the stump, whether it's
• 37:18
  Speaker 9: Mark Warner or John Ossoff or James Tallarico or Abdul
• 37:24
  Speaker 9: El-Sayed or Kathy Hochul or AOC or Ilhan Omar. and said, oh, no,
• 37:38
  Speaker 9: we don't go along with what the IRGC stands for,
• 37:44
  Speaker 9: like killing dissidents in the middle of the street. And
• 37:48
  Speaker 9: my fear is, just like my home state of Virginia
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: elected a man who unapologetically said his political opponent should
• 37:57
  Speaker 9: get two bullets in the head, we're going to elect.
• 38:01
  Speaker 15: Can you believe, with all the recent violent protests, looting,
• 38:05
  Speaker 15: and destruction... Some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
• 38:09
  Speaker 15: the police. At a time when America's neighborhoods need the
• 38:13
  Speaker 15: protection of police the most, some elected officials would rather create.
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: More chaos by playing politics.

  Speaker 3: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.

• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your

  Speaker 3: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: Shh.

  Speaker 3: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.

  Speaker 20: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 20: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 20: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 20: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 20: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 20: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 20: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 20: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 20: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 20: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
• 44:51
  Speaker 9: I'll tell you what went on last night. I'll give
• 44:53
  Speaker 9: you my analysis of it for sure, trying to stop me.
• 44:56
  Speaker 9: But I also want to hear how it's impacting you
• 44:59
  Speaker 9: where you are, because you are the most important local
• 45:04
  Speaker 9: aspect of the radio station. And so disregarding that is,
• 45:08
  Speaker 9: I think, a fool's errand there. And I don't run
• 45:12
  Speaker 9: those kind of errands. The tips are really bad. Anyway,
• 45:16
  Speaker 9: a couple of other things going on. And I think
• 45:20
  Speaker 9: the most important one is something Clark mentioned as well,
• 45:24
  Speaker 9: and we mentioned it in the news. All this bowing
• 45:29
  Speaker 9: and scraping going on about President Trump and the world,
• 45:35
  Speaker 9: when the reporter says, oh, he's just being an arrogant ass,
• 45:39
  Speaker 9: or implications of the same, and then the G7 does
• 45:46
  Speaker 9: what he asks... because he asked and the G7 said, well, sure, yeah,
• 45:51
  Speaker 9: we can do that, that the press doesn't turn around
• 46:00
  Speaker 9: and say, gee, I guess Trump was right to ask
• 46:08
  Speaker 9: the G7 for a rethinking of their strategic reserves. And
• 46:23
  Speaker 9: they've let it loose, but it's not, this is where
• 46:29
  Speaker 9: it's a play. It's theater. That oil is, yes, better
• 46:39
  Speaker 9: than not being released into the marketplace, sure.
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: But there's a deja vu to the 70s going on here.
• 46:53
  Speaker 9: And we're not talking about the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries,
• 46:59
  Speaker 9: of which Russia is a member. But they collude to
• 47:04
  Speaker 9: fix the prices of oil. They set the price. They
• 47:09
  Speaker 9: say a barrel of oil is going to cost this.
• 47:13
  Speaker 9: So the price you pay is, well, first it's the
• 47:18
  Speaker 9: price that's paid for the refinement of And so first
• 47:27
  Speaker 9: you've got to go and you've got to hire a
• 47:29
  Speaker 9: bunch of guys to run a refinery, build the refinery,
• 47:32
  Speaker 9: which they are not cheap. And we've seen what happens
• 47:35
  Speaker 9: when you build cheap ones. You wind up being a
• 47:39
  Speaker 9: character in a Bruce Springsteen song. So they're not inexpensive
• 47:45
  Speaker 9: things to.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: Build.
• 47:48
  Speaker 9: So you have to build a refinery because we've shut
• 47:52
  Speaker 9: a lot of refineries under the economic policies of of
• 47:55
  Speaker 9: Barack Obama and cap and trade.
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: And it's not.
• 48:03
  Speaker 9: Specifically to make a political statement, but let's not forget
• 48:08
  Speaker 9: the people who are saying Trump has made the gas
• 48:11
  Speaker 9: prices high were the people who said the gas prices
• 48:14
  Speaker 9: were too low. That's why you weren't buying hybrid cars.
• 48:19
  Speaker 9: That's why you were still driving up and down, you know,
• 48:22
  Speaker 9: interstate one in Connecticut driving to do leaf peeping and
• 48:31
  Speaker 9: other such unnecessary motoring. We need to make the gasoline
• 48:37
  Speaker 9: more expensive so that people will stop driving, darn it.
• 48:47
  Speaker 9: And those are the people you're going to vote for
• 48:49
  Speaker 9: instead of the guy who said, hey, listen, maybe we
• 48:52
  Speaker 9: need to stop the people who are fundraising the Islamic terrorists.
• 48:57
  Speaker 9: And there's a curiosity to this, and I'm sure it
• 49:01
  Speaker 9: comes from political consultants. And we ran into it yesterday
• 49:06
  Speaker 9: as well. Yeah, do you want Iran to have a
• 49:09
  Speaker 9: nuclear weapon?
• 49:11
  Speaker 14: No.
• 49:13
  Speaker 9: But there was more going on there than just they
• 49:17
  Speaker 9: were developing a nuclear weapon. They were doing more than
• 49:21
  Speaker 9: just enriching uranium. They were paying for people to go
• 49:26
  Speaker 9: out and kill other people.
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: Is that a concept?
• 49:31
  Speaker 9: And this goes into, Ellen sent me this story, like
• 49:35
  Speaker 9: I care who, but she's right about the story. Luke
• 49:41
  Speaker 9: Bryan was playing, I would guess, up in Massachusetts and
• 49:45
  Speaker 9: wore a Free Palestine t-shirt. These Free Palestine t-shirts, if
• 49:51
  Speaker 9: you ever lived in the southeastern Pennsylvania area, you've seen
• 49:54
  Speaker 9: similar t-shirts. They say Free Mumia. You know what Free
• 49:59
  Speaker 9: Mumia is all about? You ever heard of the Free
• 50:03
  Speaker 9: Mumia movement? It's a guy who executed a police officer.
• 50:11
  Speaker 9: And it's funny, during the whole George Floyd bit, poor
• 50:16
  Speaker 9: Mumia Abu Jamal got left in the wake of history.
• 50:22
  Speaker 9: I kept expecting the Free Mumia movement to reignite, but
• 50:26
  Speaker 9: apparently it was too cut and dry that he had
• 50:30
  Speaker 9: actually done the things to qualify for a resurrection. But
• 50:38
  Speaker 9: every time I see one of these free Palestine, I
• 50:40
  Speaker 9: want to see in parentheses with the purchase of a
• 50:42
  Speaker 9: happy meal. And just once, whether it's Ed Sheeran or
• 50:51
  Speaker 9: Luke Bryan or whoever these, you know, celeb Russia. And
• 50:56
  Speaker 9: believe it or not, I was once criticized for repeating
• 50:59
  Speaker 9: the word Russia invented celeb utards.
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: Because the activists, there are people.
• 51:04
  Speaker 9: Who work with mentally handicapped people who are like, yeah,
• 51:08
  Speaker 9: we don't like using... So when the people who work
• 51:12
  Speaker 9: with those in the mental health care industry don't like
• 51:15
  Speaker 9: being associated with vacuous celebrities.
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: Who go out and say, hey, this might make me
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: popular on X. What are you going to get?
• 51:27
  Speaker 9: But this is what we pass for, for public discourse.
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: Nobody says.
• 51:32
  Speaker 9: Hey, Luke, Brian, I've checked your concert tour agenda. I
• 51:35
  Speaker 9: don't see Gaza City on your tour agenda. Hey, Ed Sheeran,
• 51:42
  Speaker 9: I'd give you a lot more gravitas in this if
• 51:46
  Speaker 9: I saw you actually playing Gaza. Why don't you take
• 51:57
  Speaker 9: the money that you've earned in your tour instead of
• 52:00
  Speaker 9: just going on stage and barking at the people you've
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: asked to pay hundreds of dollars to come see your show.
• 52:11
  Speaker 9: Why don't you do something? I mean, Bono at least
• 52:18
  Speaker 9: went to some of these sub-Saharan African countries to talk
• 52:22
  Speaker 9: to them about debt relief. And actually, believe it or not,
• 52:26
  Speaker 9: if you've ever seen the documentary Poverty, Inc., had his
• 52:31
  Speaker 9: comeuppance when he met some of the folks who were
• 52:33
  Speaker 9: trying to elevate sub-Saharan African nations economically, and he found
• 52:39
  Speaker 9: out all the debt relief aid agency stuff was actually,
• 52:43
  Speaker 9: what's that word again? Oh, yeah, retarding actual economic progress.
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: You know, it's true.
• 52:52
  Speaker 21: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
• 52:55
  Speaker 21: to think about what matters most when it comes to
• 52:57
