Transcript
- 0:09Speaker 1: First thing today by joe thomas on the talk media.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Network your words had to steal me every day.
- 0:24Speaker 3: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
- 0:26Speaker 4: Drops the kids to school and onward.
- 0:30Speaker 2: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
- 0:32Speaker 5: All the treasures that he needs.
- 0:34Speaker 6: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
- 0:37Speaker 7: He only aims to please you.
- 0:41Speaker 5: Let me be your Joe.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Thank you for letting me be of service to you.
- 0:45Speaker 4: I want to.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Be your Joe.
- 0:50Speaker 3: So a couple of things going on. The French mistake.
- 0:54Speaker 3: Paris gunmen drive by attack over the weekend. According to
- 1:03Speaker 3: the authorities, they are calling it a terror attack targeting
- 1:10Speaker 3: black people and Arabs, quote unquote, for revenge over the riots.
- 1:18Speaker 3: Gunmen in Paris, one person was killed, five others injured.
- 1:24Speaker 3: Over the weekend in a drive-by shooting, which police say
- 1:30Speaker 3: is a terror attack at a gas station, main suspect
- 1:35Speaker 3: named Kevin T, I don't know if that's his whole
- 1:38Speaker 3: name or if that's just the way the French report
- 1:41Speaker 3: it in Le Monde, claimed he targeted black people specifically
- 1:46Speaker 3: because he was, quote, fed up with them, said the
- 1:49Speaker 3: authorities of his statements to them. He cited looted and
- 1:54Speaker 3: destroyed shops in the French capital, some of the worst
- 1:57Speaker 3: the country has seen in the past year. Police arrested
- 2:03Speaker 3: the suspect while he was driving away, and then he
- 2:09Speaker 3: allegedly confessed to having racist ideology, says the police. A
- 2:14Speaker 3: submachine gun and tear gas canisters were seized from his
- 2:18Speaker 3: car as well as cocaine. His blood tested positive for cannabis.
- 2:23Speaker 3: and cocaine. Police sources told Le Monde that the man
- 2:33Speaker 3: has maintained a stoic and unbothered attitude while he was
- 2:38Speaker 3: being cuffed. So, and these are the same authorities that
- 2:47Speaker 3: did nothing when the stores were looted. Is the narrative
- 2:51Speaker 3: here now It's okay to loot the stores because reparations.
- 2:58Speaker 3: And what do you say if you are a store
- 3:01Speaker 3: owner in France? If the attitude is such that, what
- 3:09Speaker 3: do they say, c'est la vie? One of my favorite
- 3:12Speaker 3: memes over the weekend was a statement from the French
- 3:15Speaker 3: authorities saying that these were not riots last weekend because
- 3:19Speaker 3: they can only be held in the region known as Rio.
- 3:23Speaker 3: that they're just sparkling civil disobedience if they come from
- 3:28Speaker 3: any other region of France. Our first things this morning,
- 3:35Speaker 3: Brazil is embroiled in an election dispute. As the votes
- 3:42Speaker 3: were cast in the presidential runoff over the weekend, the
- 3:46Speaker 3: president called the Supreme Court justice and said, we need
- 3:50Speaker 3: to keep the polls open for two more hours. We
- 3:52Speaker 3: don't know why specifically, but he did get 51.8% of
- 3:57Speaker 3: the votes, defeating his opponent Flavio Bolsonaro. So Lula da
- 4:03Speaker 3: Silva is re-elected. The 81-year-old will remain president for now,
- 4:09Speaker 3: but Bolsonaro has not conceded defeat, saying the last-minute call
- 4:14Speaker 3: to extend voting hours for two hours was unprecedented. Meanwhile,
- 4:19Speaker 3: voting issues here in the United States, Ninth Circuit Court
- 4:23Speaker 3: of Appeals was called into an emergency session over the
- 4:27Speaker 3: weekend to hear arguments that the U.S. Department of Justice
- 4:34Speaker 3: threats to the election officials if they don't hold any
- 4:38Speaker 3: ballots of citizens on a 20,000-person list of people whose citizenship,
- 4:44Speaker 3: let's just say, might not be complete. is unconstitutional, that
- 4:51Speaker 3: they don't have the authority to it, and it's weird timing.
- 4:56Speaker 3: I guess it's better than waiting until two hours before
- 4:59Speaker 3: the votes are finished being counted. The United States and
- 5:03Speaker 3: Canada are close to a trade agreement, according to Kevin
- 5:06Speaker 3: Hassett on Fox News over the weekend. He said negotiations
- 5:11Speaker 3: have accelerated between the neighbors, adding that Commerce Secretary Howard
- 5:16Speaker 3: Lutnick had been speaking with Canadian officials throughout the previous week.
- 5:22Speaker 3: President Trump campaigning on Saturday and Sunday in Georgia and Michigan,
- 5:28Speaker 3: those battleground states, especially with Senate races there. President Trump
- 5:34Speaker 3: said Saturday in northern Georgia that Audi was going to
- 5:42Speaker 3: be opening a plant in Macon to begin constructing vehicles
- 5:46Speaker 3: there and committing... $ 4. 2 billion to the facility and continued
- 5:51Speaker 3: to connect Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood in campaign
- 5:58Speaker 3: rallies held yesterday in Michigan, campaigning for Mike Rogers for
- 6:04Speaker 3: the U.S. Senate.
- 6:09Speaker 8: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co-host of Foster and Friends
- 6:13Speaker 8: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
- 6:15Speaker 8: famed lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The

- 8:04Speaker 11: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 11: I'm Dr.
- 8:13Speaker 12: Mitch.
- 8:14Speaker 11: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 8:20Speaker 11: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 8:24Speaker 11: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 8:28Speaker 11: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 8:32Speaker 11: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 8:39Speaker 11: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
- 8:43Speaker 11: least slow the spread of cancer and in many instances
- 8:47Speaker 11: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 8:52Speaker 11: from radiation. TotalWellness.com where we help you to look good,

- 9:02Speaker 13: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 9:05Speaker 13: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 9:10Speaker 13: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you

- 9:17Speaker 13: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 9:21Speaker 13: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never

- 9:46Speaker 13: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov
- 9:53Speaker 13: Share this information with your friends and family.
- 9:58Speaker 12: Hi, everybody.
- 9:59Speaker 14: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
- 10:01Speaker 14: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 14: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 14: but also their tireless work ethic.
- 10:08Speaker 3: Just look at the.
- 10:08Speaker 14: Birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 14: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
- 10:15Speaker 14: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
- 10:18Speaker 14: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
- 10:21Speaker 14: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
- 10:23Speaker 5: This remarkable work.
- 10:24Speaker 14: Ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines. We
- 10:28Speaker 14: know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but because
- 10:30Speaker 14: of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work every day.
- 10:34Speaker 14: Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans,
- 10:37Speaker 14: some of whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics,
- 10:40Speaker 14: alerting them when there's a change in their blood chemistry.
- 10:43Speaker 14: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
- 10:45Speaker 14: contribute to society and help those in need.
- 10:48Speaker 5: So please join me and.
- 10:49Speaker 14: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all

- 10:59Speaker 15: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 16: Oh, yeah?
- 11:01Speaker 5: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:04Speaker 15: And now a speech.
- 11:06Speaker 17: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 11:10Speaker 3: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 14: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 11:15Speaker 17: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 11:18Speaker 17: somebody call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 18: Love that guy.
- 11:20Speaker 5: Me too.
- 11:21Speaker 4: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 11:23Speaker 4: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:29Speaker 19: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 11:31Speaker 19: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:35Speaker 19: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 11:39Speaker 19: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42Speaker 19: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 11:46Speaker 19: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.

- 11:54Speaker 19: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 11:58Speaker 19: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 12:00Speaker 19: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 12:04Speaker 19: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 12:08Speaker 19: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 12:11Speaker 19: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.

- 13:12Speaker 10: Making mornings great again first thing today on the talk
- 13:16Speaker 10: media network by joe thomas.
- 13:28Speaker 3: It's technically not a finger. 434-882-4217. First thing this morning,
- 13:36Speaker 3: I am Joe. And if you can't tell just from
- 13:39Speaker 3: comments like that, then you're not playing along at home
- 13:42Speaker 3: as much as I'd like you to. Um, we do
- 13:45Speaker 3: things differently here. I want to hear how you are
- 13:48Speaker 3: being not, and it's not because I don't have an opinion. I,
- 13:52Speaker 3: and I know a lot of folks in my business,
- 13:54Speaker 3: they just rely. Well, let's open up the phones and
- 13:58Speaker 3: see what you think. That way I'm spared of ever
- 14:00Speaker 3: having to go on record as having one. Cause I
- 14:02Speaker 3: want to be loved. I want to be welcomed. I
- 14:05Speaker 3: want to be feted by the chamber of commerce later
- 14:08Speaker 3: on boys and girls. No, obviously I'm going to tell
- 14:11Speaker 3: you my analysis and you can agree or disagree, but
- 14:14Speaker 3: disagree the part. It's the things we do for love
- 14:18Speaker 3: or talk radio. They often can be indistinguishable, don't you think?
- 14:24Speaker 3: So we told you about the French drive-by. If you
- 14:29Speaker 3: believe the authorities, he seemed pleased to be telling his
- 14:36Speaker 3: story to authorities. Then why did he drive away? Why
- 14:41Speaker 3: did he leave the scene? Why didn't he sit there
- 14:43Speaker 3: and hold a press conference? If he wanted to so
- 14:48Speaker 3: proudly espouse his racism. Is there more, though, going on here?
- 14:57Speaker 3: Is this narrative, and not that the dead body isn't real,
- 15:00Speaker 3: and not that the bullets weren't real, and not that
- 15:02Speaker 3: the shooting in a gun-free zone like Paris isn't real.
- 15:10Speaker 3: But is the story also being told to make you
- 15:15Speaker 3: stick a sock in it? Whatever the French phrase for
- 15:17Speaker 3: sticking a sock in it is. Knowing full well that
- 15:22Speaker 3: Eddie or Kareem or someone will, Joel will soon email
- 15:26Speaker 3: me what the French translation of stick a sock in
- 15:28Speaker 3: it is. Le ouf de guave or something along those lines.
- 15:36Speaker 3: I'll be grievously disappointed if there isn't a French word
- 15:39Speaker 3: for sock. as sometimes more moderate things like, le chambre
- 15:46Speaker 3: de la computer system. Can't we come up with a
- 15:50Speaker 3: French word for computer system? Anyway, they want anyone who's
- 15:57Speaker 3: upset about the looting and the burning and the rioting
- 16:04Speaker 3: to shut up and sit down because you will now
- 16:07Speaker 3: be moved in, just like we did here in the
- 16:09Speaker 3: United States with January 6th, and the Oath Keepers, and
- 16:14Speaker 3: the Tea Party, and anyone else that questions authority. You're
- 16:19Speaker 3: a racist. You're a bigot. You're a thug. You're a
- 16:24Speaker 3: domestic terrorist. The FBI's got a dossier on you. Most
- 16:29Speaker 3: of it's written by, you know, law enforcement. Some of
- 16:33Speaker 3: it might be written by your political opponents. But it exists.
- 16:37Speaker 3: The existence of the dossier cannot be confirmed.
- 16:41Speaker 5: Is it truthful?
- 16:42Speaker 3: It's really a dossier. Did you ever notice that about
- 16:46Speaker 3: the Steele dossier? Nobody ever tells you anything in it
- 16:50Speaker 3: is true. They say it's real. We will verify that
- 16:54Speaker 3: it is a dossier. Is there a special template in
- 16:58Speaker 3: Microsoft Word? Can I get, open up Microsoft Word on
- 17:02Speaker 3: the studio computer. I want to see if there is
- 17:03Speaker 3: a dossier template. I mean, I know they have templates
- 17:07Speaker 3: for resumes and business letters and that kind of thing.
- 17:12Speaker 3: See if there's a dossier template on Microsoft Word. Anyway,
- 17:16Speaker 3: but what they're going to use this guy and the
- 17:20Speaker 3: story that the French authorities are telling us, Inspector Clouseau
- 17:26Speaker 3: says that he was very racist when he came and
- 17:33Speaker 3: disrespectful and hates Muslims and hates Negroes and Hates the
- 17:38Speaker 3: fact that the shops got destroyed.
- 17:42Speaker 12: Really?
- 17:43Speaker 3: And do you, anything about his connection to why he
- 17:46Speaker 3: feels that way? Ah, Ellen. Oh, another, the distaff portion
- 17:54Speaker 3: of our research department. Tasse-toi is the phrase you're looking for. Tasse,
- 18:01Speaker 3: is it taste-toi? Sounds, it sounds dirty, doesn't it?
- 18:06Speaker 5: Tasse-toi?
- 18:07Speaker 3: It means shut up or stifle yourself. Okay. Eat it there.
- 18:17Speaker 3: So this guy now becomes the avatar of anyone who questions,
- 18:23Speaker 3: be it they elected an official or you will be
- 18:26Speaker 3: immediately tossed into the metaphorical jail cell with this shooter
- 18:32Speaker 3: in Paris.
- 18:33Speaker 10: Oh, well.
- 18:35Speaker 3: You don't want the stores burned and looted? You must
- 18:39Speaker 3: be a racist, just like Pierre. Or whatever the hell
- 18:43Speaker 3: his name was. And so beware of this. You cannot
- 18:55Speaker 3: get away from Kevin. I'm sorry, Kevin T. Must be British.
- 19:01Speaker 3: Must be British. Maybe he's an illegal alien. Certainly not
- 19:08Speaker 3: in France. And I bring this back around because out of, um, the,
- 19:14Speaker 3: the Hannibal area, Quincy federal authorities over the weekend made
- 19:20Speaker 3: an arrest of a guy who's been sending what I,
- 19:25Speaker 3: what they seem to be telling us are copycat threat
- 19:28Speaker 3: letters to people like Amy Klobuchar and, um, Senator Lisa
- 19:37Speaker 3: Rochester of Delaware. All these Democrats that are supposedly getting
- 19:46Speaker 3: hate mail from or threatening letters or strange white powder
- 19:50Speaker 3: in the mail. Mike Quigley of Chicago, Brad Schneider of Lincolnshire.
- 19:58Speaker 3: So this guy gets arrested in Quincy. And pardon me
- 20:02Speaker 3: if I pronounce it wrong. I used to live in
- 20:05Speaker 3: Massachusetts and it's pronounced Quincy in Massachusetts. The letters were
- 20:16Speaker 3: sent from his home address. You've got to love the
- 20:21Speaker 3: alleged dumbness of some people. But he wrote these letters
- 20:25Speaker 3: and then mailed them from his home address in case
- 20:28Speaker 3: they wanted to get back in touch with him.
- 20:31Speaker 14: U.S.
- 20:31Speaker 3: Postal Service and Quincy Police Department took Matthew Unglesby, 37,
- 20:40Speaker 3: into custody for sending threatening letters. Remember, there was also
- 20:48Speaker 3: a famous bit of the Biden administration under Merrick Garland.
- 20:52Speaker 3: While Merrick Garland was also investigating Louise Lucas, Virginia Senate
- 20:57Speaker 3: President pro tempore, for drug smuggling and money laundering and racketeering, which,
- 21:03Speaker 3: by the way, she was arrested for last week, while
- 21:06Speaker 3: in and amongst the jobs that Merrick Garland Joe Biden's
- 21:10Speaker 3: attorney general were administering, were also dossiers and folders and
- 21:16Speaker 3: investigations into parents who would question whether their school board
- 21:20Speaker 3: members were doing their job to protect their kids and
- 21:24Speaker 3: to provide education for them. And of all the lunacy,
- 21:29Speaker 3: investigating threats against school board members, and that would be
- 21:34Speaker 3: the headline. so-and-so investigated for a threatening school board member.
- 21:39Speaker 3: And then you try to figure out what the threat was.
- 21:42Speaker 3: And in many of the cases, the threat was, I'm
- 21:45Speaker 3: going to run against you in November, or I'm going
- 21:49Speaker 3: to start a recall campaign. Now, I've been threatened by
- 21:53Speaker 3: a lot of people. And sometimes my job has been threatened,
- 21:58Speaker 3: but not by my constituents.
- 22:01Speaker 21: Hey, I'm Brant, and her name is Sherry.
- 22:03Speaker 22: Hello.
- 22:04Speaker 21: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
- 22:06Speaker 21: for because of a surgery she just went through.
- 22:09Speaker 23: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
- 22:11Speaker 23: talk about all the time, which is?
- 22:13Speaker 3: MediShare.
- 22:13Speaker 23: That is right.
- 22:14Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 22:15Speaker 21: So what was your experience like with MediShare and the
- 22:17Speaker 21: health care bills?
- 22:18Speaker 23: Honestly, Brant, seamless. And what a blessing that is when
- 22:21Speaker 23: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was.
- 22:24Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 22:24Speaker 23: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
- 22:27Speaker 23: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
- 22:30Speaker 23: call in with your need, that is just... It is refreshing. Yes,
- 22:34Speaker 23: that's what it is.
- 22:35Speaker 21: But I keep telling people, people love MediShare and they
- 22:38Speaker 21: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
- 22:42Speaker 23: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different.
- 22:46Speaker 23: And I mean different in a very, very good way.
- 22:48Speaker 21: It is good, different.
- 22:49Speaker 3: Call now.
- 22:50Speaker 21: They're easy to talk to and you can get a
- 22:51Speaker 21: price within two minutes.
- 22:53Speaker 3: Call 855-SHARE-40.

- 23:01Speaker 9: Hi, I'm Dr.
- 23:02Speaker 6: Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Artificial
- 23:07Speaker 6: intelligence is everywhere. And now it's helping veterinarians deliver better
- 23:11Speaker 6: care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that speed up diagnoses
- 23:17Speaker 6: to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports veterinary teams
- 23:21Speaker 6: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,
- 23:27Speaker 6: predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease, and even streamline
- 23:32Speaker 6: record keeping so veterinarians can focus more on patients. As
- 23:37Speaker 6: with any new technology, always keep a human in the
- 23:41Speaker 6: loop to maintain the best pet health care. AI is
- 23:45Speaker 6: a powerful tool, but not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion,
- 23:50Speaker 6: and judgment, which remains at the center of our profession.

- 24:03Speaker 11: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 11: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 11: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 11: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
- 24:43Speaker 11: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
- 24:45Speaker 11: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
- 24:51Speaker 11: cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to

- 25:02Speaker 13: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 25:05Speaker 13: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 25:10Speaker 13: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
- 25:13Speaker 13: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
- 25:17Speaker 13: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 25:21Speaker 13: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 25:26Speaker 13: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 25:29Speaker 13: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
- 25:33Speaker 13: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 25:38Speaker 13: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
- 25:42Speaker 13: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
- 25:46Speaker 13: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
- 25:55Speaker 15: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 25:56Speaker 12: Oh, yeah?
- 25:57Speaker 5: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 25:59Speaker 24: And now a speech.
- 26:02Speaker 1: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 26:06Speaker 3: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 26:08Speaker 24: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 26:10Speaker 17: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 26:13Speaker 17: somebody call me a ride.
- 26:15Speaker 2: Love that guy.
- 26:16Speaker 12: Me too.
- 26:17Speaker 4: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 26:19Speaker 4: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 26:23Speaker 19: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 26:26Speaker 19: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 26:30Speaker 19: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 26:34Speaker 19: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 26:36Speaker 19: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 26:40Speaker 19: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 26:46Speaker 19: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 26:49Speaker 19: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 26:53Speaker 19: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 26:55Speaker 19: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 26:58Speaker 19: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 27:02Speaker 19: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 27:05Speaker 19: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 27:09Speaker 19: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

- 28:17Speaker 10: by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 28:22Speaker 17: Oh, information laundering is really quite ferocious.
- 28:25Speaker 24: It's when a hox to take some lies.
- 28:27Speaker 1: And makes them sound precocious.
- 28:28Speaker 25: By seeing them in Congress or a mainstream outlet, so
- 28:31Speaker 25: disinformation's origins are slightly less atrocious.
- 28:34Speaker 3: Who are you going to believe? Me?
- 28:36Speaker 9: It's how you hide a little lie.
- 28:38Speaker 24: It's how you hide a little lie.
- 28:39Speaker 3: Your lying eyes. That's 434-882-4217. And, you know, forgive me
- 28:47Speaker 3: for this narrative that they've created in France about this
- 28:54Speaker 3: guy and his motivations. And he may very well be.
- 28:58Speaker 3: But what is the, you know, what, who, what's the
- 29:02Speaker 3: phrase they used to like to use around high school kids? Radicalized.
- 29:07Speaker 25: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 29:08Speaker 3: Radicalized. Who radicalized this guy? Now, I think, you know,
- 29:15Speaker 3: if I'm reading the French coverage of this guy who
- 29:18Speaker 3: shot up the gas station in Paris, and he supposedly,
- 29:22Speaker 3: you know, he hates the Muslims and he hates the
- 29:24Speaker 3: blacks and he hates the government because they allow the
- 29:27Speaker 3: looting to take place. And it just seemed very convenient.
- 29:31Speaker 3: They hated all of those things and then drove away
- 29:34Speaker 3: rather than have his manifesto blurted out to everyone. You know,
- 29:40Speaker 3: and faster than you can say Frank Abagnale, French prisons
- 29:44Speaker 3: are different than American prisons. They're made of the best
- 29:48Speaker 3: steel money could buy. Sorry, that's a really, really old
- 29:54Speaker 3: Catskills Borscht Belt joke. The French, they make their prison
- 30:01Speaker 3: from the Bastille money, goodbye. But rights ain't the same
- 30:10Speaker 3: in France as they are here. And you might not
- 30:14Speaker 3: hear from his defense attorney or anyone like that, but
- 30:18Speaker 3: you will if you speak out against the government's inability
- 30:22Speaker 3: to stop people from looting all the stores and singing
- 30:25Speaker 3: the songs of angry men. If you question their attempts
- 30:34Speaker 3: to do so, you will be lumped in with this
- 30:36Speaker 3: person faster than you can say January 6th. Because the
- 30:45Speaker 3: reparational hand-wringing governments, so addicted to their power, must keep
- 30:55Speaker 3: my precious safe. And so they capitulate. They give in.
- 31:06Speaker 3: They won't actually hold anyone to account. And it's always
- 31:17Speaker 3: about hating someone else. Here's one out of Salem. A
- 31:22Speaker 3: micro-shelter village. Is that what Salem calls a homeless encampment?
- 31:33Speaker 3: We had one here in Charlottesville all along a river.
- 31:36Speaker 3: It was along, you know, Charlottesville loves to tell everyone
- 31:38Speaker 3: how walkable they are. And they have these wonderful hiking
- 31:41Speaker 3: trails through and around the city. And it's marvelous. Until
- 31:46Speaker 3: all these homeless people, hundreds of them, started camping there
- 31:50Speaker 3: and then started raping one another and beating each other
- 31:54Speaker 3: senseless and threatening people. And nobody went down there. And
- 31:59Speaker 3: it was quite a tense city. But is that what
- 32:03Speaker 3: Salem calls a tent city? A micro-shelter zone? It's right
- 32:10Speaker 3: near downtown Salem. I feel like I've lived in a
- 32:12Speaker 3: war zone now, according to the person who was interviewed
- 32:16Speaker 3: by the Statesman Journal. I feel like I've lived in
- 32:18Speaker 3: a war zone now for the last three and a
- 32:20Speaker 3: half years over here. It's actually worse than I ever
- 32:25Speaker 3: anticipated it would get. Now, that phrase tells me that
- 32:29Speaker 3: Terry Finch, who said this, was one of the liberal
- 32:33Speaker 3: intelligentsia that supported the idea of allowing a bunch of
- 32:38Speaker 3: people to squat. Now a grocery store, Safeway, is getting
- 32:53Speaker 3: ready to close because they're losing so much product to shoplifting.
- 33:00Speaker 3: And is Salem, Oregon as bad as Paris?
- 33:04Speaker 13: I don't know.
- 33:06Speaker 3: You tell me. You're listening to us at KFIR. You
- 33:10Speaker 3: tell me. Is Salem, Oregon worse, more liberal, more permissive,
- 33:17Speaker 3: more close my eyes and pretend it goes away than
- 33:23Speaker 3: Paris is? I mean, at least in Salem, they don't
- 33:26Speaker 3: control it. But This is the same stuff. So at
- 33:30Speaker 3: what point does ignoring a problem make grander problems? Because
- 33:37Speaker 3: one of the things in Paris is, again, as many
- 33:42Speaker 3: European places, entire German cities have been invaded by these
- 33:48Speaker 3: folks without even the benefit of a panzer division or
- 33:53Speaker 3: air support. They just showed up and they took over
- 33:56Speaker 3: entire cities in Germany. What do you think you are,
- 34:00Speaker 3: the Russians or something? Is this the old Soviet Union?
- 34:08Speaker 3: They just kind of came in and said, well, we're
- 34:12Speaker 3: not following your laws. You know what that means? You're
- 34:15Speaker 3: arrested and you're sent somewhere else. You don't want to
- 34:18Speaker 3: follow our laws. And you can have whatever belief you want.
- 34:22Speaker 3: And we talked about this earlier. A belief that says,
- 34:28Speaker 3: In an effort to battle people who aren't members of
- 34:34Speaker 3: your church, you can lie to them. Some interpretation says
- 34:40Speaker 3: you can kill them. Where in the Old Testament or
- 34:46Speaker 3: the New Testament does it say you can lie to
- 34:51Speaker 3: somebody who's not in your church? that you can kill,
- 34:58Speaker 3: you can beat, that they're non-people. I know there's some, especially,
- 35:06Speaker 3: you know, adherent and his seed and very conservative, both
- 35:10Speaker 3: Christian and Jewish communities that won't work with you, won't
- 35:16Speaker 3: sell to you. But that number is diminishing just out
- 35:20Speaker 3: of the fact that it's kind of short-sighted. This is
- 35:32Speaker 3: what Dr. Zutty Jasser has talked about frequently over the
- 35:36Speaker 3: whole idea that we need to come up with a
- 35:44Speaker 3: better solution and we need the Muslim community to come
- 35:48Speaker 3: up with that better solution. Because if they don't, it's
- 35:58Speaker 3: going to continue to cause acrimony and people will continue
- 36:07Speaker 3: to feel that they are given no choice but to
- 36:20Speaker 3: take matters into their own hands. And this is what
- 36:24Speaker 3: happens when a government takes on these authorities, takes on
- 36:32Speaker 3: positions that they have no ability to really have any
- 36:40Speaker 3: say over, and claim that they're going to fix these
- 36:50Speaker 3: problems for everyone, And they can't because they've gone past
- 37:07Speaker 3: what's simple. They've gone past what's reasonable. They've gone past what,
- 37:22Speaker 3: even in countries that don't have the same constitution we do,
- 37:33Speaker 3: that they would have some responsibility to a business owner,
- 37:40Speaker 3: even if that business owner requires the state's approval for
- 37:44Speaker 3: the use of a building or the use of a storefront.
- 37:49Speaker 3: Even in countries like that, there is a responsibility. But
- 37:52Speaker 3: now if you bring that up, you're going to be
- 37:55Speaker 3: in the same crowd as this.
- 37:58Speaker 5: Shooter.
- 38:01Speaker 21: Life can change so Abruptly, just ask Paul. He's a

- 38:09Speaker 21: he develops a rare medical condition where he lost the
- 38:12Speaker 21: use of both of his arms.
- 38:14Speaker 2: I could no longer drive a car.
- 38:15Speaker 5: Couldn't use a computer.
- 38:16Speaker 1: Couldn't type.
- 38:17Speaker 17: Couldn't use a mouse.
- 38:18Speaker 2: I could not hold my.
- 38:18Speaker 5: Son, who was about a month old.
- 38:20Speaker 21: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
- 38:23Speaker 21: but they're so thankful that they're members of MediShare.
- 38:27Speaker 17: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does MediShare
- 38:29Speaker 17: really work? I'm living proof that it works. My four
- 38:33Speaker 17: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
- 38:36Speaker 17: have been healed, are living proof that MediShare works. Just
- 38:40Speaker 17: knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
- 38:42Speaker 17: are going to be taken care of when we have
- 38:44Speaker 17: some type of medical problem, that is such a huge
- 38:46Speaker 17: blessing to us.

- 40:05Speaker 1: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them, nestled
- 40:09Speaker 1: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.

- 40:57Speaker 24: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 41:03Speaker 24: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
- 41:08Speaker 24: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 41:12Speaker 24: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 41:15Speaker 24: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 41:21Speaker 24: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 41:24Speaker 24: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:27Speaker 24: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:32Speaker 24: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
- 41:36Speaker 24: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

- 44:12Speaker 10: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Radio Network.
- 44:18Speaker 3: So we told you the story earlier. Ninth Circus Court
- 44:22Speaker 3: of Appeals, as it is known in my circles anyway,
- 44:25Speaker 3: has got questions about whether or not the Department of
- 44:30Speaker 3: Justice has authority constitutionally. And they're asking. I thought you
- 44:34Speaker 3: guys were judges. You're supposed to know this. Chad Ennis,
- 44:38Speaker 3: vice president of the Honest Elections Project, is on the
- 44:41Speaker 3: newsmakers line with us. Chad, happy Monday. How are you
- 44:44Speaker 3: doing this morning, sir?
- 44:46Speaker 12: Good.
- 44:46Speaker 5: How are you?
- 44:47Speaker 3: Well, you know, I'm trying to make sense of this all.
- 44:50Speaker 3: So we have Brazil, where they just decided arbitrarily, you
- 44:55Speaker 3: know what, let's keep the polls open for a few
- 44:57Speaker 3: more hours. So I guess un presidente could get more
- 45:02Speaker 3: votes in there. Maybe he, because they had already begun
- 45:05Speaker 3: counting the votes. And then they said, all right, all right,
- 45:08Speaker 3: stop counting the votes. We're going to keep the polls
- 45:11Speaker 3: open for two more hours. And Californians are hollering about
- 45:16Speaker 3: making sure that only valid citizens vote in their elections.
- 45:22Speaker 3: How crazy of a world have we gotten into?
- 45:24Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really gotten crazy is the right word.
- 45:30Speaker 26: It's nuts that anyone opposes trying to keep U.S.
- 45:36Speaker 5: Elections for U.S. citizens. It's insane that we're even talking
- 45:40Speaker 5: about this.
- 45:41Speaker 3: I have made the comparison at great peril of my own,
- 45:44Speaker 3: but I've learned that I don't care. George Wallace once
- 45:49Speaker 3: claimed that it was Alabama's state's rights to keep black
- 45:53Speaker 3: kids from going to white schools. And the federal government said, no,
- 45:58Speaker 3: there are certain things that are civil rights that you
- 46:01Speaker 3: don't get to pick and choose. in states. And I've
- 46:04Speaker 3: made the case that these voting rights issues are exactly that.
- 46:08Speaker 3: Do I want the federal government dictating my elections?
- 46:11Speaker 1: No.
- 46:11Speaker 3: But I don't want my vote diluted by somebody who's
- 46:14Speaker 3: not a citizen voting in my elections.
- 46:19Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's completely logical.
- 46:21Speaker 26: I think that's where probably 90% of the U.S.
- 46:26Speaker 5: Public is. Look, they're for U.S. citizens. Elections are for U.S.
- 46:30Speaker 2: Citizens.
- 46:31Speaker 5: And You know, if the state.
- 46:34Speaker 26: Is going to go out of its way to close
- 46:38Speaker 26: their eyes and potentially allow non-citizens.
- 46:40Speaker 5: To vote, then the Fed need to step in and
- 46:43Speaker 5: fix that.
- 46:44Speaker 26: Because it's not fair to people in Texas that California
- 46:48Speaker 26: is doing things this way or any state.
- 46:52Speaker 3: Especially to other Californians. So you guys at the Honest
- 46:55Speaker 3: Elections Project have filed three FOIA requests. to the California
- 47:01Speaker 3: Public Records Department about these 20,000 names that need to
- 47:08Speaker 3: be vetted. Tell us where that is and what you
- 47:11Speaker 3: guys are looking for. It says in the story I
- 47:14Speaker 3: read that you're looking for the California leadership's response to this,
- 47:21Speaker 3: or is there more going on here?
- 47:23Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean, look, DOJ sent a California list in July.
- 47:29Speaker 26: They sent him another list in October of potential non-citizens
- 47:33Speaker 26: on their rolls. And we're just asking, hey, what investigation
- 47:36Speaker 26: did you do in.
- 47:38Speaker 5: Response to that?
- 47:40Speaker 26: You got a list from the federal government, a pretty
- 47:42Speaker 26: good source of citizenship information.
- 47:44Speaker 5: You got a list from them.
- 47:46Speaker 26: What'd you do and what'd you find? Really simple, should
- 47:49Speaker 26: be an easy thing to tell us. But I expect
- 47:53Speaker 26: the answer is no.
- 47:54Speaker 5: We did nothing. And we liked it.
- 48:00Speaker 3: And that's an important point because you've said this is
- 48:04Speaker 3: an intersection where the federal government will know who's a
- 48:08Speaker 3: citizen or not. Therefore, their list should be compared to
- 48:12Speaker 3: your voter rolls because the California government doesn't determine citizenship,
- 48:19Speaker 3: thank God. for that. So it should be a relatively
- 48:24Speaker 3: logical thing to say, here's our list of citizens that
- 48:28Speaker 3: live in California. Only let them vote in the election.
- 48:33Speaker 3: So what has California said to you guys at the
- 48:35Speaker 3: Honest Elections Project?
- 48:38Speaker 26: Well, they haven't said anything to us yet, but you
- 48:40Speaker 26: can see some of their filings in the court case
- 48:43Speaker 26: that in some of their public statements is that the
- 48:47Speaker 26: feds sent them a list and they said, yeah, thank you.
- 48:50Speaker 5: We're not looking at it. And we're just going to persist.
- 48:53Speaker 26: And look, the feds aren't demanding that these people be
- 48:56Speaker 26: taken off the rolls. They're not demanding anything like that
- 49:00Speaker 26: anywhere near that. What they're asking for is very simply, hey,
- 49:04Speaker 26: here's the list of people we suspect are non-citizens.
- 49:07Speaker 5: We've checked. You sent them ballots.
- 49:10Speaker 26: If their ballot comes back just don't count it for now,
- 49:14Speaker 26: for now.
- 49:14Speaker 5: Set it aside and let us investigate. Let us help
- 49:17Speaker 5: you investigate.
- 49:18Speaker 2: And California says, no, we're not doing that.
- 49:23Speaker 26: We're going to use the old parlance. We're going to
- 49:24Speaker 26: make a federal case of that and go to court
- 49:26Speaker 26: and try to block it.
- 49:27Speaker 3: Well, and part of it seems to be whether or
- 49:30Speaker 3: not the federal government was threatening California. California election officials,
- 49:36Speaker 3: Chad Ennis on with us from the Honest Elections Project, Chad.
- 49:41Speaker 3: And I don't know if it was a threat more
- 49:43Speaker 3: than just saying, listen, these are the legal ramifications if
- 49:46Speaker 3: you choose to ignore these orders. And should we count
- 49:52Speaker 3: on the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals to determine this?
- 49:57Speaker 26: Yeah, I don't think we're going to get a very
- 49:59Speaker 26: good answer out of the Ninth Circuit. But look, I mean,
- 50:02Speaker 26: the Fed said, He said, we sent you a letter
- 50:04Speaker 26: with a list of suspected noncitizens on your rolls. I
- 50:09Speaker 26: mean you have a duty to investigate that. If not,
- 50:12Speaker 26: you're aiding and abetting.
- 50:13Speaker 2: Noncitizen voting potentially, depending on what the facts show.
- 50:18Speaker 26: But I mean it's entirely reasonable, and as you said,
- 50:21Speaker 26: it's not really a threat.
- 50:22Speaker 5: It's a threat. look, here's the law, guys. Please follow it.
- 50:25Speaker 27: Just do the investigation. This isn't that hard. And they
- 50:30Speaker 27: keep throwing out, you know, DOJ whittled the list down.
- 50:34Speaker 27: Their original list in July was 190,000.
- 50:36Speaker 26: The one they sent here, the one they sent in
- 50:40Speaker 26: October was only 20,000. Only 20,000. Now, I mean, that
- 50:44Speaker 26: sounds like it is a big number. But when you
- 50:47Speaker 26: break it down by county, you know, this isn't a
- 50:51Speaker 26: huge thing. LA had the most at like 7,300, a County,
- 50:55Speaker 26: the size of LA. And that's all they're asking them
- 50:57Speaker 26: to investigate. They're not asking them to investigate the 190
- 51:01Speaker 26: as of right now.
- 51:02Speaker 2: This isn't a tall order.
- 51:04Speaker 5: This isn't going to, you know, bring down the Republic.
- 51:07Speaker 26: It's a very simple request and California just doesn't want
- 51:11Speaker 26: to do it.
- 51:12Speaker 3: So what is, you know, we've got a week to go.
- 51:16Speaker 3: What is the, hope of a Californian listening to us
- 51:20Speaker 3: in Sacramento or in the Inland Empire on KMET to
- 51:25Speaker 3: have these 20,000. Never mind. I want to know what
- 51:28Speaker 3: happened to the other 170,000, how they got off the list.
- 51:32Speaker 3: You know, votes not counted if they're not citizens.
- 51:38Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean, I think the oral argument, I didn't
- 51:41Speaker 26: get to listen to it, but all the accounts I've
- 51:43Speaker 26: read say it didn't go well for DOJ at the
- 51:47Speaker 26: Ninth Circuit, which is unsurprising. And I suspect the Supreme
- 51:53Speaker 26: Court probably won't want to get involved here in the
- 51:55Speaker 26: next week. So I think for this election, those votes
- 52:01Speaker 26: are going to get counted. Now, at least DOJ has
- 52:04Speaker 26: flagged And this is little solace, but at least they
- 52:08Speaker 26: flagged these 20,000.
- 52:08Speaker 5: And, you know, after the.
- 52:10Speaker 26: Election, you know, folks can go through and check and
- 52:14Speaker 26: make sure that these people are citizens.
- 52:16Speaker 2: But I think their ballots are going to make it
- 52:18Speaker 2: into the system, unfortunately, and get counted.
- 52:21Speaker 3: And even with the DOJ threatening to not stop certification, Chad?
- 52:28Speaker 5: I think it'll be interesting. I think it'll be interesting
- 52:31Speaker 5: to see, you know, L.A. County is not going to cooperate, right?
- 52:34Speaker 5: But there are a lot of Republican counties actually in California. Sure.
- 52:38Speaker 5: And it'll be interesting to see what investigations they've done
- 52:41Speaker 5: and what they find. Because they might actually do the work.
- 52:45Speaker 3: Chad Ennis, Honest Elections Project. Thank you for joining us.
- 52:48Speaker 3: Thank you for listening. Until tomorrow.
- 52:51Speaker 12: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 52:54Speaker 12: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 52:57Speaker 2: It was MediShare that came through for us and there
- 52:59Speaker 2: was no hassles.
- 53:00Speaker 5: There was no problem.
- 53:02Speaker 12: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
- 53:05Speaker 12: of such an incredible ministry.
- 53:07Speaker 15: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
- 53:11Speaker 15: share each other's medical expenses.
- 53:13Speaker 4: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
- 53:17Speaker 4: with you through the hardest times of your life.
- 53:20Speaker 15: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old,
- 53:25Speaker 15: and members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
- 53:27Speaker 15: medical bills.
- 53:28Speaker 5: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
- 53:30Speaker 5: You can focus on supporting other people.
- 53:33Speaker 3: MediShare is affordable.
- 53:35Speaker 11: MediShare is biblical.
- 53:36Speaker 25: MediShare is family.
- 53:37Speaker 15: Join thousands of Christians who can help you save on
- 53:40Speaker 15: your health care and support your family when you need it.
