  Speaker 2: Joe works at a steel mill.

• 0:43
  Speaker 8: this morning. As we christen the month of October, we're
• 0:52
  Speaker 8: approaching one month from the end of the midterms and
• 0:55
  Speaker 8: more and more of these places are doing their early voting.
• 1:00
  Speaker 8: The sad thing about the gaslighting involved in the early
• 1:03
  Speaker 8: voting is it's such a lie, beyond all the other
• 1:07
  Speaker 8: things that came out of COVID-19 that were a lie.
• 1:11
  Speaker 8: This one is particularly insidious because it really displays as
• 1:19
  Speaker 8: the essential lie. Because this was.
• 1:27
  Speaker 8: In many states, a capitulation, all the early voting, all
• 1:33
  Speaker 8: the mail-in voting was to protect state employees. It was
• 1:37
  Speaker 8: an OSHA thing.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Is it really safe and is it really effective?
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:44
  Speaker 8: Thank you, Tony. Can you take the fifth again, please?
• 1:51
  Speaker 8: So when they started doing all the early voting stuff,
• 1:54
  Speaker 8: regardless of whether they did it constitutionally like most states
• 1:57
  Speaker 8: or unconstitutionally like Wisconsin, it was all under this banner
• 2:04
  Speaker 8: of protecting state employees. And in many places like Pennsylvania
• 2:10
  Speaker 8: and Virginia, the state runs the liquor stores. They all
• 2:15
  Speaker 8: stayed open. You were allowed to go into the liquor
• 2:19
  Speaker 8: store and spray the state employee behind the counter with
• 2:23
  Speaker 8: your covid but somehow not all state employees are created
• 2:29
  Speaker 8: equal i guess so we had to protect.
• 2:33
  Speaker 9: Is it really safe stop is it really.
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: Oh it's not was that was that my booster how
• 2:40
  Speaker 8: many of those am i gonna have to get before
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: i get a clot huh But the lie, of course,
• 2:49
  Speaker 8: was built on the idea that we were protecting people
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: from this virus that nobody could see. But you were
• 2:58
  Speaker 8: the most deadly creature on the planet. I'm telling you,
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: you are better than any copperhead snake out there. You
• 3:06
  Speaker 8: and all your neighbors killing people indiscriminately with your covid.
• 3:11
  Speaker 8: And I'm not saying COVID isn't a real virus that
• 3:14
  Speaker 8: makes you sick. That's what the military developed it to do.
• 3:19
  Speaker 8: More on that later. Workplace shooting in the D.C. suburbs
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: that made national headlines yesterday came to an end not
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: far from the studios of this program as 37-year-old Marvin
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: Grant of Charlotte, North Carolina, was fleeing the scene of
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: what is now called the United Rentals Project. shooting in Manassas,
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: Virginia yesterday when the Virginia State Police located him, pulled
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: him over in Augusta County near Stanton, where after a
• 3:49
  Speaker 8: few minutes he got out of the car, pointed a
• 3:52
  Speaker 8: gun at his head, and he died of a self-inflicted
• 3:55
  Speaker 8: gunshot wound. Police are still trying to put together the
• 4:01
  Speaker 8: motive behind the shooting, two of the people shot at
• 4:05
  Speaker 8: the United Rentals have died of their injuries. Secretary of
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: War Pete Hedges gave a speech on the state of
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: the force. It's the second such address he's made to
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: a gathering of military leaders and broadcast across the globe
• 4:23
  Speaker 8: to U.S. forces. Hosted at Marine Corps Base Quantico, He
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: formally announced six major initiatives detailing additional changes involving senior
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: military leadership, military culture, and readiness. One of the things
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: he established was a four-star Autonomous Warfare Command, or AUTOWARCOM,
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: to accelerate the development and deployment of autonomous and robotic
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: systems through the military. Pentagon officials also confirmed that there'll
• 4:59
  Speaker 8: be a 20% decrease to leadership roles, generals and admirals,
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: by January 1st. And Hegseth announced that Elon Musk and
• 5:10
  Speaker 8: Rule Industries founder Palmer Luckey and former House Speaker Newt
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: Gingrich will lead a Pentagon initiative to study the future
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: of warfare and forecast the solutions to tomorrow's conflicts. It's
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: called Project Meridian, designed to give the U.S. technological dominance
• 5:33
  Speaker 8: on the next-generation battlefield. All this going on in the
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: shadow of the U.S. military announced that it had, without
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: muss or fuss, finished withdrawing all American troops from Iraq,
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: ending a 12-year mission to fight the Islamic State in
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: what President Trump called the very expensive excursion into hell.
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: Our friends at Mesa Verde Hemp, if you feel like,
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: you know, sometimes I do in the morning, I've been
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: going back and forth. I've got one of those Mike
• 6:09
  Speaker 8: Lindell vote for me for governor pillows, and it's done great.
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: But one of the things that I made the mistake
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: of is I often will have two pillows under my
• 6:20
  Speaker 8: head because sinus things and whatnot. And it doesn't work
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: well with that. I was waking up. My neck was just,
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: you know, immovable force for a long time. A couple
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: of drops of this CBD oil from Mesa Verde hemp
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: and poof. It was weird. And the best part is
• 6:42
  Speaker 8: you don't have to keep taking it forever like some
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: of these opioid treatments that you get with a prescription.
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: You use it until the pain goes away, and then
• 6:50
  Speaker 8: you're done. And you don't sit there fuming for, I

  Speaker 6: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: 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,
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.

  Speaker 11: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 11: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 11: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 11: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 11: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 11: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 11: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 11: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 11: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 11: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 11: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 11: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 11: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 12: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: but because of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: 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 8: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 15: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 16: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 8: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 15: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 13: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 9: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28
  Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 17: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 17: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 17: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 17: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 17: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 17: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 17: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 17: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 17: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 17: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:07
  Speaker 17: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 17: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 17: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 17: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 17: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 18: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 18: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 18: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 18: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:43
  Speaker 18: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

• 12:53
  Speaker 18: in your life. treatment works. Recovery is possible.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: So you've heard me say this before, and it always
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: elicits because I get it. You're doing six things right now.
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: And so when I say something that sounds off color
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: or you hear just a bit of it, you say, what?
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: I'm not a huge fan. of this lurch towards autonomous warfare.
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: And I'll explain why. It's not because I want soldiers
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: to be in harm's way. I'm the guy who's out
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: there hawking the fact that COVID-19 was a bioweapon designed
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: through the loopholes in the world, you know, the International
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: Criminal Court, blah, blah, blah. You know, it's another one
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: of those Jokes that God bless Donald Trump for pointing out.
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: And it's multifacets to the reason I say I'm not
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: a fan of this lurch societally towards autonomous warfare. The
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: first and most preeminent to it is that it becomes...
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: less of a concern to go to war. One of
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: the mitigating reasons not to go to war is that
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: your citizens are going to be put into uniform and
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: sent off to most likely, given the range of the conflict,
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: depending on scale and scope, World War II certainly is
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: a civil war, not come home, not come home alive.
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: So you are then driven to consider the human toll
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: of a military operation. 19 people, for example, if you
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: go to Shanksville, we chronicled this for you, just outside
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: of the Flight 93 Memorial is a memorial garden. It's
• 15:36
  Speaker 8: a state park. It's a flag display. for all the
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: servicemen and women who have died since the terrorist attacks. 219,
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: I think, or is it two? Did we just have 220?
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: 219 flags in this field in Shanksville, just across the
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: road from the Flight 93 Memorial. But 19 of them,
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: at least, in Project Epic Fury. And we haven't put
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: boots on the ground, sir. Pilots shot down or crashed,
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: hit in drone strikes from the other side or missile strikes.
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: And we've been coming here since, I mean, the beginnings
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: of the ballistic missile. You know, we can shoot missiles
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: at you and we can sit here and drink tea
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: while the missiles go flying and, you know, devastate your country.
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: To be fair, I mean, the Gatling gun, that turned
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: the Civil War into a meat grinder. 17th century military
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: tactics meet 20th century machine guns. Because it is based
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: in Sun Tzu's teaching, which is the best military strategy
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: is the one that convinces your opponent not to go
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: to war with you. So I get it. And when
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: Hegseth talks about this plan to put Elon Musk and
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: Newt Gingrich and Lucky Strikes into the room together and
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: come up with this Project Meridian, where somehow they're going
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: to predict, maybe Elon Musk really is a time traveler.
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: I don't know. Came back and said, hmm, I'm going
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: to need money. What if I invent PayPal? And then
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: I'll have money and I can do all the other
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: stuff that I need to do since I've been sent
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: here from the future. Oh, you don't think I'm the
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: first person to say that, do you? But anyway, he's
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: on this board with Newt Gingrich and Lucky to predict
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: what future war is going to look like. To identify,
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: this is from Higgs' speech yesterday, to identify the capabilities
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: required to achieve absolute technological dominance on the next generation battlefield. Again,
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: that strikes me as a Sun Tzu-esque, we want to
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: be so badass that nobody goes to war with us.
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: Sun Tzu. Sun Tzu. best military strategy is one that
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: convinces your opponent not to go to war with you.
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: It's what kept the Cold War cold. So the reason
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: I don't like the development of drone technology is that
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: The future battlefield will be us with automated weaponry being
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: controlled safely by someplace in the Colorado mountains while the
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: human toll is on the ground, giving the playing field
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: to those. Look at what's been done with Hamas. Israel
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: and the IDF strikes into Gaza. And then the TV
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: cameras from American, especially, but the world press runs into
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: the piles of rubble to find some activist with a six-year-oldness.
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: arms saying, this kid's family was killed by that missile strike.
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: And there's nobody there on the ground to make the
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: case of what was going on in the first place.
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: And I have always felt that America's best ambassadors are
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: our soldiers. These are the best of us. most of
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: the time. I think in a certainly higher percentage than
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: you'll get in a squadron full of broadcasters, these are
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: people with honor and dignity and are there to try
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: to liberate someone from oppression and therefore are our best
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: ambassadors because they are there. Do we give them all
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: the tools necessary to reenter society? Not even close. We're
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: getting better. But we're still not close. But we should
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: always consider their lives before entering a combat. But secondly,
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: and we'll pick up on Joe Biden's comment, well, if
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: you want to take on the U.S. government, you better
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: have some F-16s. That hasn't been our history. That hasn't
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: been the case yet. partially because, thanks to our activist media,
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: we wind up losing our stomach too quickly for the combat.
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: So we insist our elected officials pull out, see what
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: happened to our soldiers in Southeast Asia. But even given that,
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: simply using the tactics that Baron von Steuben taught George Washington.
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: They were causing grave problems for our soldiers in Southeast
• 21:47
  Speaker 8: Asia because it was their country and they knew where
• 21:50
  Speaker 8: all the hiding spots were and they knew how to
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: get the advantage, even though they didn't have F-16s, most

  Speaker 8: of them, except for the ones that got them from

• 22:02
  Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,

  Speaker 6: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy

• 25:56
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 16: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 12: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:05
  Speaker 16: Heart and brain.
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 16: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:13
  Speaker 16: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 13: Love that guy.
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: Me too.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

  Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:25
  Speaker 17: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:29
  Speaker 17: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 17: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:36
  Speaker 17: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 17: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 17: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 17: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 17: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 17: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:58
  Speaker 17: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 17: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 17: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 17: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the 20th.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Ten years ago, a crack commando unit was sent to
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: These men promptly escaped from maximum security stockade to the
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem,
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: if no one else can help, and if you can
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: So the human capital of our military is unparalleled. Ask
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: anyone who was liberated during World War II. Ask many,
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: and this is one of the problems with the rhetoric
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: of our agendized media. If liberating a country means stabilizing it,
• 29:10
  Speaker 8: they call it nation-building. They call it American empire. Derisive
• 29:16
  Speaker 8: terms designed to make you say, oh, I don't want that.
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: Was it nation building when they went into the Philippines
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: and rescued my father and my aunt and my grandparents
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: from Santo Tomas, my uncle from prison camps from the Japanese?
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: Was it nation building when we went in and liberated Buchenwald?
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: Was it nation building when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Sorry,
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: I just felt like we were getting a little too
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: deep there. But the point I'm making is that While
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: having technological prowess is good tactic. We mentioned Sun Tzu
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: and the idea that the best military tactic is the
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: one that convinces your opponent never go onto the battlefield
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: with you in the first place. So having the best
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: drone army or air, I guess it would be air
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: force tactics. is good. Does it fall under the cav?
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: This would be air cav, wouldn't it? I don't know,
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: Pentagon hierarchy, but I would put this drone force under
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: air cav. But whoever commands it is, again, what are
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: the ramifications? And we have to be ready. We have
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: to work hard on making sure truth comes out of
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: the battlefield. If we suit up for battle, the American citizens,
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: remember we the people, need to have a full telling
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: of what's going on. And too often, and here's where
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: Hegseth's big problem is, is in the Pentagon, half of
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: their energies are spent battling the American press out of
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: a populist view that We should never have anyone die
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: ever for anything. And I'm taking that beyond the boundaries
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: of military. Anytime somebody passes away, the press treats it
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: as a grave tragedy, not looking at the life lived
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: or what the life achieved as it went on. Because
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: they prey on the sadness, they prey on the loss,
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: they prey on the grief, of a family, it's detestable
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: behavior towards trying to be popular. So I'm not trying
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: to get popularity out of a quick hit by saying,
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: I think we should always make sure that we have
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: men and women in our uniforms because they are our
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: best ambassadors, but we shouldn't be also trundling towards a
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: war front where we never suit up and we never
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: go in because we will fall prey to what the
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: American media is doing in Gaza. This is part and
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: parcel of how they rebranded Hamas as this marginalized group.
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: This is the same thing they did. You know, everyone
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: who tells the history of America says pale face went
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: after the red man. leaving out the whole bit where
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: the French paid the red man a lot of money
• 32:53
  Speaker 8: to raid and kill and butcher the pale face along
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: the western frontier in the French and Indian War. You
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: leave that bit out, and then the French, like they
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: did in Southeast Asia, left, leaving us holding the bag. Thanks, guys.
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: Our allies. Kareem is on the line at 434-882-4217. Good morning,
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: my brother from another mother. How are you doing today?
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Joe.
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: I'm doing well. Currently in western Pennsylvania.
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: Beautiful out there. Beautiful out there. So what's going on?
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: What's on your mind?
• 33:31
  Speaker 9: Oh, there's a whole lot out there, Joe.
• 33:33
  Speaker 14: Well, first off, AI right now, I still say it's
• 33:36
  Speaker 14: a bubble and If they say it's for our self-defense
• 33:40
  Speaker 14: and national security, I'm thinking that's because.
• 33:42
  Speaker 9: They want to use it for us to bail them out.
• 33:46
  Speaker 14: But, Joe, we can look at the front lines of
• 33:48
  Speaker 14: Ukraine and what's going on in Iran and Israel.
• 33:54
  Speaker 9: Not even mention Myanmar. I'm not even going there.
• 33:57
  Speaker 14: But just those three big ones, we can look at
• 34:00
  Speaker 14: that as the current state-of-the-art battle of warfare. Russia has
• 34:05
  Speaker 14: dialed in, essentially— They adapt, so that's an important thing.
• 34:12
  Speaker 9: They actually pay attention to what the soldier on the
• 34:13
  Speaker 9: front line is saying.
• 34:15
  Speaker 14: They use small groups, three, six, and nine, to go
• 34:18
  Speaker 14: against drone operators, Ukrainians, whenever they can press them into service,
• 34:24
  Speaker 14: to go against this Starlink-backed ISR warfare, and they have
• 34:29
  Speaker 14: their own ISR warfare. But using this AI is essentially
• 34:35
  Speaker 14: to replace boots on the ground It's going to lead
• 34:39
  Speaker 14: to more manob school issues, and it's going to be
• 34:42
  Speaker 14: cost overrun. And just like Iran is doing against our–
• 34:46
  Speaker 14: those are our bombs and our best going in and
• 34:50
  Speaker 14: trying to– and what they're doing is they're– this is
• 34:53
  Speaker 14: a country that's been under sanctions for almost 50 years.
• 34:56
  Speaker 14: They're prepared for a nuclear blast. We haven't been able
• 35:00
  Speaker 14: to knock through their mountains. We're not going to knock
• 35:02
  Speaker 14: through their mountains. And what they can do– against our
• 35:06
  Speaker 14: multi-billion dollar equipment is so sad.
• 35:10
  Speaker 8: Well, but it's what I said before. This is the
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: power of the person. And you can take almost anything
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: a big country says, the United States or China, and
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: apply it back to 1775 and 1776. 250 years ago,
• 35:32
  Speaker 8: King George III was ostensibly saying, well, if you want
• 35:35
  Speaker 8: to take us on, you're going to need some F-16s.
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: And that wasn't true. Because fighting for something, fighting for something,
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: is the most powerful weapon. And we need to do
• 35:52
  Speaker 8: a better job of explaining what we're fighting for when
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: we're fighting. Because I don't deny that we're fighting for things.
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: I think we do a bad job explaining to people
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: why we're fighting for things. And part of it is
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: because of this bunker mentality in the Pentagon that makes
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: people like Pete Hegseth look at the press as the
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: enemy combatant because ever since the Soviet Union started paying
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: for our anti-war movement in the 60s, they have been.
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: So we need to engage that side. And I'm not
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: talking about propaganda. I'm talking about what is going on,
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: fireside chats. Why are we here? What's going on? Because
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: I'll have friends of mine that the intelligence industry here
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: in central Virginia is very robust. And I'm not just
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: talking about the intelligence that the University of Virginia portends
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: to distribute to young skulls full of mush. So I'll
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: have people tell you, you can't do that anymore, Joe.
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: FDR would have, you know, given away all of our
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: secrets to the country. You know, you can't have a
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: fireside chat anymore because, you know, they get CNN in
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: the caves of Iran. Well, I'm not saying we say, well,
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: we're going to be sending the tactical fighter wing from
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: Wiesbaden in on Thursday morning at 9, but explaining to
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: the American people why we're doing this. We are losing
• 37:37
  Speaker 8: the battle of the hearts and minds because for some
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: reason we don't know how to get the eyes and ears. Kareem,
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: does that make sense?
• 37:47
  Speaker 9: It does, Joe. But besides the press.
• 37:50
  Speaker 14: The people will know, truth will out. The people will
• 37:54
  Speaker 14: understand what the truth is. And when they figure that out,
• 37:57
  Speaker 14: they'll get very angry. You got your son, Zoo.
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: Well, you think.
• 38:02

  Speaker 16: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 16: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled

  Speaker 16: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.

  Speaker 5: Yes!

  Speaker 16: have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:27
  Speaker 11: Shh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 8: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 16: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:38
  Speaker 16: And with every item.
• 40:39
  Speaker 12: You buy, you fund local job.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Training and more.

  Speaker 15: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,

  Speaker 15: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,

  Speaker 15: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 15: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 15: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 15: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 15: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 15: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 15: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 15: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41
  Speaker 19: Eat better.

  Speaker 8: My name is Jim. I'm a veteran and I lost
• 41:52
  Speaker 8: both legs in Vietnam. My victory was proving that disability
• 41:56
  Speaker 8: is not a limitation.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: I'm Julius.

  Speaker 19: first date?
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: We'll probably stay together.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Probably?
• 42:59
  Speaker 19: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 43:03
  Speaker 8: I can probably swim.
• 43:05
  Speaker 7: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 43:07
  Speaker 16: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 43:09
  Speaker 12: Cannonball!
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Cramp!
• 43:12
  Speaker 9: I have a cramp.

  Speaker 19: Ready to go?
• 43:27
  Speaker 13: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 43:29
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 43:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 7: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  Speaker 7: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:19
  Speaker 9: Hey, hey, hey.
• 44:21
  Speaker 8: All right, them you can bash.
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: On.
• 44:27
  Speaker 8: Bite the hand that feeds you.
• 44:41
  Speaker 21: I think it's important to note here that.
• 44:52
  Speaker 8: The two greatest generals in human history both were Americans
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: and both warned us about permanent military industry, and international entanglements.
• 45:09
  Speaker 8: I just think it's important to note that more people
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: live under some semblance of freedom on this October 1st, 2026,
• 45:19
  Speaker 8: because of George Washington and Dwight Eisenhower, and because of
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: the men and women that died in their services. and
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: went forth and liberated entire planets, sadly to watch many
• 45:41
  Speaker 8: of them fall back into petty despotism. But each time
• 45:47
  Speaker 8: you move the cause of liberty a little bit further
• 45:49
  Speaker 8: along and despotism comes back, there are people who remember
• 45:53
  Speaker 8: what the liberty was like. Jerry writes in to 434-882-4217
• 46:09
  Speaker 8: under the text message hotline. You cannot possibly begin to
• 46:18
  Speaker 8: understand what's going on on a battlefield any more than
• 46:21
  Speaker 8: a politician can sit on a TV screen or a
• 46:25
  Speaker 8: radio and explain to the American people why we're fighting
• 46:29
  Speaker 8: a war. I don't know. I think we can. I
• 46:33
  Speaker 8: don't know if we can today because we don't trust anymore.
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: Because we have been so corrupted, Jerry, by democracy, by
• 46:47
  Speaker 8: the idea that we all get to vote on something.
• 46:49
  Speaker 8: And if I don't get my way at that vote,
• 46:51
  Speaker 8: if I'm on the 49% side, I'm going to riot
• 46:56
  Speaker 8: until I get enough people to say, okay, we give,
• 46:59
  Speaker 8: stop rioting and you can have your way. We've become
• 47:04
  Speaker 8: addicts to democracy. And if we can't get our way,
• 47:11
  Speaker 8: we'll pay a bag full of money to somebody who'll
• 47:14
  Speaker 8: get our way for us. So, yeah, I mean, truth
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: be told, I don't see it being easy, but nothing
• 47:25
  Speaker 8: good ever is. Gary in Berlin, New Hampshire said, Your
• 47:32
  Speaker 8: description of autonomous war has a sneaky similarity to the
• 47:37
  Speaker 8: modern filibuster. I hadn't thought about it, Gary, but, you know,
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: as the first snows begin to fall in Berlin, New Hampshire,
• 47:46
  Speaker 8: I'm sure... Teasing. Kidding. Up there, you make a great point,
• 47:55
  Speaker 8: because we have senators who.
• 48:01
  Speaker 8: Express their power without actually having to do anything. Adam
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: Schiff can engage in filibuster without even leaving California. Just
• 48:14
  Speaker 8: authorizes Chuck Schumer to call filibuster. I mean, at least
• 48:19
  Speaker 8: do that. You have to have some member of the
• 48:22
  Speaker 8: Senate come out and wave a flag saying.
• 48:25
  Speaker 7: I declare filibuster.
• 48:29
  Speaker 8: Each morning. At least entertain us. If you're not going
• 48:33
  Speaker 8: to represent us, at least entertain us. I mean, you
• 48:38
  Speaker 8: pick the member of the Senate you want. Tim Kaine
• 48:41
  Speaker 8: out there.
• 48:41
  Speaker 6: I call filibuster.
• 48:46
  Speaker 8: I picture Nathan Lane doing it, but that's just, you know,
• 48:50
  Speaker 8: or the guy from The Office. The American version of this. Filibuster. Oh, no, no, no.
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: It wasn't The Office. It was 30 Rock. Because nothing
• 49:10
  Speaker 8: worth doing is worth automating. And we live in a
• 49:14
  Speaker 8: world with so much that is available through autonomous actions,
• 49:19
  Speaker 8: the operations of radio stations, the operations of automobile manufacturing facilities,
• 49:27
  Speaker 8: so much of what we had been doing that was
• 49:31
  Speaker 8: easily programmable. And this goes into a bigger conceptual side
• 49:38
  Speaker 8: of what has... been replaced through automations. If something can
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: be replaced with automation, then it was not something that
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: was so skill laden, so skill required that it couldn't be.
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: Can you build a car by hand? Sure. I think
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: the Rolls people do that for a price. Bugatti. Somebody
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: builds cars by hand. I know that. But can it
• 50:22
  Speaker 8: be done with a reasonably equivalent amount of technological expertise?
• 50:32
  Speaker 8: You're riveting the same rivets in the same place.
• 50:34
  Speaker 9: Sure. Sure.
• 50:35
  Speaker 8: And there are downsides to it. You can't build six
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: different cars on the same assembly line because the computer
• 50:41
  Speaker 8: needs to know the rivet goes there. If a smaller
• 50:44
  Speaker 8: car pulls up and now the rivet doesn't go there anymore,
• 50:48
  Speaker 8: everything falls apart. But there are things we have learned
• 50:54
  Speaker 8: to do autonomously. And nobody wants to send people into
• 51:03
  Speaker 8: war to die. Unless the cause is incredible. Unless the
• 51:14
  Speaker 8: need to stop aggression is so incredible. And this is
• 51:20
  Speaker 8: what I mean about messaging. If you leave a vacuum,
• 51:28
  Speaker 8: we will fill that vacuum. Kareem, you were saying something
• 51:33
  Speaker 8: right before we headed to break. You said, I have
• 51:35
  Speaker 8: my son, Sue. You have.
• 51:36
  Speaker 9: I'm Phillips.
• 51:38
  Speaker 8: Bum Phillips?
• 51:39
  Speaker 9: Bum Phillips, former coach of the Houston Oilers. Rest in peace.
• 51:44
  Speaker 14: He said, a good coach will take your team and
• 51:47
  Speaker 14: run it better than you could. Also, he can tell
• 51:50
  Speaker 14: you what's coming, you'll know what's coming, and he can
• 51:53
  Speaker 14: still run it.
• 51:53
  Speaker 8: Well, Earl Campbell helped a lot with that one, I
• 51:58
  Speaker 8: have to say. But I see what you're saying. It's
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: about General Eddy, our research director, said Aston Martin said,
• 52:08
  Speaker 8: And Ferrari, okay, well, you'll pay for it. But made
• 52:12
  Speaker 8: by hand, sure. I mean, James Bond could, but Q
• 52:16
  Speaker 8: has automated a lot of things for James Bond over
• 52:21
  Speaker 8: time in that Aston Martin. All I'm saying is that
• 52:26
  Speaker 8: I want to not wake up in a country where
• 52:32
  Speaker 8: we can go to war cavalierly because we're not sending
• 52:36
  Speaker 8: men and women into harm's way. Look at the type
• 52:46
  Speaker 8: of people we have representing us, and you'll understand why.
• 52:51
  Speaker 13: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
• 52:54
  Speaker 13: feels like even a family road trip is taking a risk.
• 52:57
  Speaker 13: We don't want the feeling of being unprotected and vulnerable.
