1:49
was like the player of the year.
1:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, you see, yeah, no crazy history. When I
1:55
think there's some people are there, we'll look forward to
1:58
seeing you back here in town.
2:00
Speaker 6: What is you do?
2:01
Speaker 2: You have thoughts on what's going on in the world,
2:03
and it would turn at each other nuts.
2:06
Speaker 7: I mean, you know the left is you know, they're
2:10
they're pulling out all the stops right now, and the
2:15
assassination of Charlie it's just actually it was James o'keeff's
2:20
guest over when they had one of these. I didn't
2:24
even know anything about it, but I hung around, you know,
2:28
in the you know, the event space area and where
2:32
all the vendors are. After being James, I mean actually
2:36
took me an hour and fifteen minutes to get through
2:39
security short, and I was James O'Keeffe's guest.
2:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's but what about you know, there are
2:48
people Andy, Andy, Andy, there are people who because time
2:52
is short here, but there are people who will blame
2:57
guys like James O'Keeffe for the land escape we're in
3:01
right now. What do you say to people who say, well,
3:05
James O'Keeffe, secret videos showing us for who we are.
3:09
That's why we're so violent, because people are seeing us
3:12
without our masks on. I guess is there implication? What
3:16
do you what do you say to folkses?
3:19
Speaker 7: James is about truth. I mean he gets people in
3:23
power saying things that they wouldn't say publicly.
3:27
Speaker 2: Yeap, oh so without question, and so continue to support
3:32
that kind of And so.

3:40
twenty twenty election.
3:43
Speaker 6: And I'm sitting here talking to you right now. So
3:47
don't know.
3:48
Speaker 2: My message to people is fear not Amen. That's the
3:51
best message of all. Do the right thing, you know, yeap,
3:55
Do the right thing for the right reason. Damn the torpedoes.
3:58

4:28
Speaker 6: Hey man, thanks for doing what you do.
4:30
Speaker 2: Four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
4:34
That's the phone number. It's time for us to get
4:36
our first things uh this morning and if that that
4:41
will come up some of the things going from memory
4:44
here because the computer is still saying, no, you really
4:47
don't need to see that script. You what do you
4:50
want to see that script? For our news stories. The
4:54
Governor Spencer Conx of Utah says that the assailant alleged
4:59
in the death of Charlie Kirk is not cooperating, not confessing,
5:03
not cooperating at all, but the people around him are.
5:07
That includes reports from the FBI the transgender man becoming
5:13
a woman that the assailant was living with, who is
5:17
apparently being very cooperative with Utah authorities. FBI is also
5:25
investigating the reports that leftist groups in Utah were part
5:30
and parcel of the radicalization, if you will, of the murderer.
5:36
Turning Point USA has announced that memorial services will take
5:39
place on September twenty first for Charlie Kirk at State
5:44
Farms Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and that will probably be
5:51
live streamed at Turning Point USA's website. Britain and the
5:56
United States will sign a deal this week to work
5:59
together the other on boosting nuclear power generation. During President
6:03
Trump's state visit beginning tomorrow, they will secure investments into
6:09
new plants. The British government says they're going to invest
6:13
fourteen billion pounds into a new power plant in the
6:20
United Kingdom and also on technologies to develop these small
6:25
modular nuclear reactors there. Marco Rubio is in Israel, hoping
6:31
to work towards ending the battles between the Israeli Defense
6:35
Force and Hamas. However, strikes during his visit flattened another
6:41
high rise building in Gaza City. And those are our
6:47
first things this morning here on the Talk media Network.

between something high quality or something that saves you money.
7:07
But what if you could get both?
7:08
Speaker 2: Why not?
7:09
Speaker 9: Especially when it comes to healthcare, and that is meta share.
7:12
Speaker 1: You get both.
7:14
Speaker 9: Many families save five hundred bucks a month with meta
7:17
share and that's huge. But it's also true that people
7:19
wind up way more satisfied too, and we know this
7:22
from research of members. There's a lot they like about Medashare,
7:26
but especially they love being part of something they believe in.
7:29
And Medashare works too. It has for more than thirty years.
7:33
There are hundreds of thousands of members who love having
7:37
telehealth if they need it. They love the huge PPO network.
7:40

9:05
mid century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them
9:08
nestled in their display case. Miniature donut earrings. Oh yes, yes,

9:53
Goodwill bring good home.
9:57
Speaker 12: Exercise is hard, so is maintained a healthy diet. Of course,
10:03
neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
10:08
heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
10:12
Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
10:15
few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
10:21
Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
10:24
diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
10:27
changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
10:32
because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
10:36
starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor,

eat better, get moving, Visit check up america dot org,

13:17
First thing today here at Joe Thomas at your service
13:21
four three four eight eight two four two one seventh
13:24
the Great Horace Cooper of Project twenty one. We're gonna
13:27
talk a little bit about the Kirk assassination and movements
13:34
and movements that stick around even after the titular head
13:40
of the movement has been assassinated. Publicly and grievously and
13:45
heartless and coldless, as if these things needed to be
13:50
adjectives to a murder. Thou shalt not murder, not thou
13:54
shalt not commit aggravated murder, Thou shalt not commit hate crime.
14:02
We ebjectifies. You know you've heard of objectifies. This is adjectify.
14:10
Everything has to have an adjective. Everything has to have
14:13
some modifier to make it better or worse. Survival crime,
14:21
it's not really crime, it's survival crime. Hate crime, well,
14:25
that's even worse than crime. It's hate crime. We used
14:29
to have frequently on my program we would have discussions
14:33
about the hyphenation of America. We were Scottish Americans and
14:38
Irish Americans, and Black Americans and African Americans and you
14:43
name it. We would hyphenate transgender Americans. And we pushed
14:49
against the movement of that at the time, but perhaps
14:56
not hard enough because it metastas sized, and like a
15:01
cancerost tumor, it is grown and is consuming all around it.
15:09
And like a canceroust tumor, it will consume the host
15:15
regardless of its own survival. And that's what Marxism does.
15:21
Marxism consumes the host until all is gone. Look at France.
15:26
France has been consumed by Marxists since.
15:30
Speaker 8: King b.
15:33
Speaker 2: Ever since Robespierre convinced the less miserables to climb the
15:38
barricades and sing Broadway show tunes, ever since Guillotine became
15:48
a social media platform.
15:55
Speaker 8: So the.
16:02
Speaker 2: It's not new, I think, is what I'm trying to
16:05
point out to you. This is not new to the world.
16:12
And this is what becomes frustrating. As I said with
16:14
at the onset of this program, why can you support
16:18
such an agenda? And the conceit really is, look into
16:23
the eyes of the Zelots that believe Marxism will work
16:29
this time. The Zelots believe that it's American style Marxism.
16:40
And to be fair, we've had sixty years of American Marxism.
16:44
The great society is Marxism. Lyndon Baines Johnson should be
16:51
Lennon bains Johnson. He figured out a way to get
16:56
communism in And I wonder sometimes as he sat there
17:00
behind Jack Kennedy listening to the speeches, listening to Kennedy
17:06
rail on about the dangers of communism, I wonder if
17:09
he was like, you don't know nothing, you don't know anything.
17:15
We're gonna do communism, will beat communism at their own games,
17:19
will do communism, and that'll show them. That'll show those Soviets.
17:25
We'll do our own communism, and we'll do it better.
17:28
We'll call it the Great Society, not the workers Paradise, pah,
17:35
workers Paradise. We're gonna have a great Society and it's
17:38
going to be just like Marxism, but we're going to
17:40
vote for it, mister President. They vote a lot in
17:44
the Soviet Union. Well uh uh okay, Well we'll make
17:48
it seem like they're all voting for the things that
17:51
they want. And we'll tell the black people that we're
17:57
going to do it specially for them, so they're shut
17:59
up and sit down. Go back and listen to some
18:03
of Lyndon Johnson's recordings. Yes, he had a recorder in
18:07
the Oval office too. Dick Nixon didn't have it installed,
18:11
He just had it to RaSE seven and a half minutes.
18:16
Go listen to It's at the Miller Center at the
18:18
University of Virginia. Lyndon Johnson's recordings, and they've scrubbed a
18:24
lot of the stuff out about the Great Society, but
18:27
there's a great interchange between Sergeant Schreiver and Lyndon Johnson,
18:35
which Shreiver's even telling Johnson on the phone, Alyndon, I
18:41
understand this isn't gonna wak and Johnson's response is, Shreiver,
18:46
I don't care if it's going to work or not.
18:48
I just want you to know if you're gonna do it.
18:54
They knew that it wasn't going to make everyone prosperous.
18:59
They knew it going to make more of us poor.
19:01
That was good, That was a happy accident at best,
19:04
if not the overall intent. Because Marxism doesn't make everyone
19:09
equally prosperous. It makes everyone equally poor. And Marxism is
19:16
in the Islamism, Marxism is in the Greenism, Marxism is
19:21
in all these places. And the thing you have to
19:24
remember about Marxism, and I can't say this enough in
19:28
the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, is that
19:31
there were people whose pockets were going to get lighter
19:35
if we kept listening to people like Charlie Kirk, and
19:45
so they needed to find zelotry to play on. And
19:50
I mentioned this earlier before we started to have our
19:53
computer issues, which, by the way, we're still having We're
19:55
actually flying like Apollo thirteen right now. I'm like your
20:00
radio version of Jim Lovell. We are in complete shutdown
20:04
in the studio. The only thing that remains connected is
20:07
my connection to you via the satellites. So somewhere Carrie
20:13
Sinice is working on a way to power up the
20:15
lunar module so that we can pilot this thing back
20:18
into re entry. But as I said earlier, that the
20:27
people who profit from Marxism are the bureaucrats, the autocrats,
20:32
the ones who ride enough rump kiss enough glutamus maximus
20:41
to be the ones trafficking in the money and keep
20:44
a little for yourself to keep it fair. Jane writes
20:49
in have you seen such an outpouring of reactions in
20:53
a good way since Mlk's death, Nothing like the massive
20:57
negative reactions after George Floyd's death. I was at one
21:02
last night, Jane, wonderful affirmation of faith and life and
21:11
this will bother them more than anything. But we were
21:16
mentioning shows like talk radio. This was Oliver Stone's treatise
21:22
on guys like Rush Limbaugh, where the radio host gets
21:28
shot in the end and killed by somebody or Fisher King,
21:34
Fisher King, the premise of the story is Robin Williams
21:38
went insane because his wife was murdered in front of
21:41
him by a guy whose last good marble was knocked
21:45
out of his hand by a radio host. The zelots
21:50
on the left don't need radio shows to do it.
21:54
They go out there and they'll get on their YouTube channels,
21:57
and they'll get on their Twitter feeds, and that's sufficient
22:00
to do it.
22:01

Speaker 19: Tell hi, I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American
23:04
Veterinary Medical Association. Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's
23:10
helping veterinarians deliver better care for pets. From AI assisted
23:15
radiographs that speed up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases,
23:19
AI supports veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI
23:24
to develop personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline
23:30
kidney disease, and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can
23:34
focus more on patients. But, as with any new technology,
23:39
always keep a human in the loop to maintain the
23:42
best pet healthcare. AI is a powerful tool, but not
23:47
a replacement for your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which
23:52
remains at the center of our profession. For more information

24:04
Speaker 20: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
24:08
Speaker 4: Yes?
24:09
Speaker 20: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
24:13
oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
24:18
to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
24:23
By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
24:28
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
24:33
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
24:36
precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

how are you, sir?
29:14
Speaker 6: So so eloquently said, you know, nobody does it better.
29:17
Speaker 2: I get paid by the busy weekend.
29:20
Speaker 24: Yeah, with everything happening, and you know, turned on to
29:24
watch the Virginia Tech game after UVA had such a
29:27
great day, and I thought, okay, since we're in the
29:29
state of Virginia. It was twenty eight to nothing and
29:32
half Old Dominion leading thirty one to three, and I knew.
29:35
Speaker 6: The roof was about to cave.
29:37
Speaker 24: Brent Roster, Brent Roster, Brent Pry was fired at yesterday
29:42
in Blacksburg, And if you look at the resume, it's
29:46
pretty evident. Worst start since eighty seven oh and three
29:50
no top twenty five appearances in four years, ten and
29:53
thirteen in the league, sixteen and twenty four overall, oh
29:57
and five in one possession games last year, one in
30:00
twelve and games decided by one possession margins. Vandy's thirty
30:04
four straight points in Week two then trailing twenty eight
30:08
nothing to Old Dominion at half five, full quarters without
30:11
a point, seventy minutes and sixty five unanswered points.
30:15
Speaker 6: All right, I'll just leave it there, and I've got
30:17
the rumor mill for you.
30:18
Speaker 24: Even though, and boy, this set off Hokey Nation saying
30:22
that Brent was just delusional.
30:24
Speaker 6: I like Brent. I met him, talked to him, interviewed him.
30:28
But the fans were just but Brent thought he had
30:31
the roster to accomplish things.
30:33
Speaker 25: I think there's talent in in that locker room. It's
30:35
not the talent that we need yet to be a
30:38
team that can contend for championships, but it's an improved roster.
30:43
You know, these guys are busted their butt and gave
30:45
us a chance at South Carolina, you know, played a
30:48
heck of a half against Vanderbilt. It's four quarter game.
30:51
Speaker 6: You know, this was very disappointing and unexpected tonight. Yeah.
30:55
Speaker 24: And as far as you know, three of the Hokies
30:58
twenty two starters against Vandy are from Virginia. That's on
31:03
beamer like, it's untech like, it's just unfosterike.
31:08
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, I.
31:08
Speaker 2: Read something about that. I read something that said only
31:12
you know, back in the day, something along the lines
31:16
of fifty percent of all Virginia Tech players came from Virginia,
31:23
especially the seven five seven that is the Hampton Roads area,
31:26
and now this is only eleven percent.
31:29
Speaker 24: That's amazing to me. Yeah, you just yeah, you got
31:32
to control the state. It's been a thing for you know,
31:35
for quite some time. So the rumor mill is cooking
31:38
breakfast today.
31:39
Speaker 6: Are you ready? If Shane Biemer doesn't get this job,
31:42
I'll buy you lunch? Okay.
31:45
Speaker 24: Shane Biemer's name is of course being mentioned. Alex goles
31:48
USF Bob Chesney, Jmu, Michael Vick, Norfolk State, Jimbo Fisher.
31:54
Speaker 6: Who is who is you know.
31:55
Speaker 24: Hanging around you know the chess parlors, Jamie Chadwell, Liberty,
32:01
Pat Fitzgerald, a former Northwestern head coach who was coaching
32:04
in high school. Now he had the run in with
32:06
Northwestern brass. So anyway, those are just some of the
32:09
names that are starting.
32:10
Speaker 2: Michael Vick. Hang on a second, Michael, just telling you
32:14
the two games he's exactly unless he's gonna suit up
32:19
and play quarterback. I mean, you know, of all those names,
32:22
I just.
32:22
Speaker 24: Said, if they don't cut a deal for Shane Beemer,
32:24
and how could Shane Beemer not return uh to coach
32:28
where he graduated he got his master's uh at uh?
32:32
Speaker 6: I think I think he got his masters at Vanderbilt.
32:34
I think he just got he graduates got back.
32:37
Speaker 2: Did you see they just got smacked around by Vanderbilt too?
32:41
Speaker 6: I did, I did. I watched it for sure.
32:44
Speaker 24: But the most entertaining of the weekend was Brian Kelly,
32:49
who I don't really like anyway, the LSU head coach,
32:52
so he just had to be a run in. So
32:53
they pull off five interceptions against Florida, but they they
32:58
had some numbers that irked few writers.
33:01
Speaker 6: Then you know, why can't you run the ball? How
33:03
come you're not very good on third down? That set
33:05
him off. That set Kelly off. So just cherished stund
33:10
bites from the press conference I had to bring to
33:13
the table. We played the game to win the game,
33:16
all right, how about third down?
33:17
Speaker 10: Then?
33:17
Speaker 2: What is going on with third down?
33:20
Speaker 18: It's one game, last game, we were great on third down.
33:24
Your micro you're looking at this from the wrong perspective.
33:28
Lsu won the football game, won the game.
33:32
Speaker 6: I don't know what you want from me. Okay, Joe,
33:35
it got so much better. I cut this.
33:37
Speaker 24: The rant goes for long, but I cut it up
33:39
into a couple of segments here, just so because he
33:42
starts to build this presser starts.
33:45
Speaker 6: To build here, what do you want?
33:46
Speaker 18: You want to win seventy to nothing against Florida to
33:49
keep you happy?
33:50
Speaker 2: No, I think people want to know why you can't
33:51
run the ball. We can run the ball.
33:53
Speaker 6: Did you see the last play of the game. That's
33:55
all you need. You just need one. There's some ridiculous questions.
34:00
Getting tired of him? Okay, so then of course he
34:03
just no, he was. He's not even close to being done.
34:06
Speaker 18: Give him some respect instead of micro analyzing every little thing.
34:11
Speaker 6: This is ridiculous for a group of seasoned reporters. That
34:16
kind of question is so out of line. What do
34:18
you want me to tell you? I just laid it
34:21
out for you.
34:22
Speaker 24: It was just any anyway, yeah, lagway from Florida through
34:25
five picks one was a big six and so oh
34:27
and then back to the Brent stories.
34:29
Speaker 6: I forgot to add. So Philip Montgomery will be in
34:31
the mix.
34:32
Speaker 13: Uh.
34:32
Speaker 6: He was a former head coach at Tulsa offensive coordinator.
34:36
Speaker 24: You know, he got hired in February. He was at Auburn,
34:40
he was at Baalor as a coordinator. So he worked
34:43
with Robert Griffin in.
34:44
Speaker 6: Case Keenum And so anyway, Philip Montgomery will also be
34:47
in the mix, I think, and have a chance.
34:49
Speaker 24: So if they you know, they're oh and three, and
34:50
if they reel off seven in the next eight or
34:52
whatever happens, you know, Montgomery could get certainly could get
34:55
a look. He's going to be, you know, interviewing for
34:57
the job now every week, which will will make a.
35:01
Speaker 6: Big difference of all.
35:02
Speaker 24: And then you know, you never you never think that
35:05
you're gonna you know, run into other like stories and
35:09
things and firings. Over of course UCLA, Deshaun Foster was fired.
35:15
Speaker 6: They got beat by New Mexico thirty five ten. So
35:18
he also was tossed. So you know, some some ads
35:22
are not going to put up with it.
35:23
Speaker 24: And when you know, when you you're down twenty eight
35:25
to nothing in half and of sixty five thousand you've
35:28
only got I don't know, ten thousand left in the stadium.
35:32
Speaker 6: It was not pretty. It just was not pretty in Blacksburg.
35:35
Speaker 24: But the Kansas City Chiefs over the weekend, okay, they
35:37
lost to the Eagles, right all right, Well, public address
35:41
announcer Dale Carter, who had a famous.
35:44
Speaker 6: Call it's third down. He had this long, you know
35:48
call about third down Airhead Stadium.
35:49
Speaker 24: He resigned after sixteen years because the Chiefs retired of
35:53
his third down call and they had asked him last
35:56
year to change it up during the playoffs and he
35:58
would not. So he's going to run for a state
36:01
legislature position anyway. So the Again City Chiefs have fired
36:05
their public address announcer.
36:07
Speaker 6: You know, So, no, no one, no one is safe,
36:11
no one.
36:13
Speaker 24: In this in this era of professional and college and
36:18
athletics and athletics across the board, no one is safe.
36:23
Speaker 2: No, that's just the way it's so well said, you know,
36:26
it's true. You got to remember these things. That actually
36:29
a message I made on Saturday. I said, if you
36:32
don't live every minute like it's going to be your last,
36:35
if you don't broadcast every show like it's going to
36:37
be your last, absolutely right, technology, Dan, you got.
36:41
Speaker 24: To you got no Just ask Patrick Bond, just ask
36:44
anybody who you know loses and loses tough and you
36:47
know they put, you know, put things together.
36:49
Speaker 6: Meanwhile, and I got to give credit uh uv a
36:53
strong day.
36:54
Speaker 24: And yes it was just William and Mary. You know,
36:56
I credit Michael Lindon. He's a good friend. But when
37:00
you look at what the Wahoos did. So when your
37:02
neighbor to the north is scoring fifty five points and
37:06
they had thirty thirty one the week before, thirty four
37:10
just lost.
37:11
Speaker 6: They just lost. I can't remember, but it was in
37:12
the thirties. And when they're playing so well.
37:15
Speaker 24: They had seven hundred yards of offense against William and Mary,
37:20
which which set a record dating back to nineteen sixty eight.
37:24
Speaker 6: You know when Frank Quayle and Geane Arnette were they
37:27
were roaming this.
37:28
Speaker 2: Thomas Jefferson played for William and Mary. He didn't score.
37:31
Speaker 24: Yeah, when Thomas was Yeah, when he was suiting it
37:35
up and throwing around the pig skin with some of
37:37
these Sally Henting boys.
37:38
Speaker 6: So anyway, that's wow.
37:40
Speaker 2: Now there's a recruiting story for you right there. There's

Speaker 16: According to a new report from Discovery Education, ninety two
38:05
percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
38:08
and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
38:11
critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
38:15
but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
38:19
student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
38:22
students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
38:26
forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
38:29
principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
38:33
the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
38:37
said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
38:41
while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
38:45
assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
38:49
students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
38:52
yet fewer than half of teachers report using AI themselves
38:55
to complete tasks. Visit Discovery Education dot com to learn

40:37
and from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
40:42
the one for new maccle disease can protect adults from
40:44
illnesses that can cause misdays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
40:49
New macaccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
40:53
or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
40:57
of an infection that can spread from person to person.
41:00
Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

Media Network. Four three four eight eight two four two
44:22
one seventy is the phone number, and emails come into
44:25
JT in the morning radio at gmail dot com. All
44:28
that stuff is free from the malfunctioning technology in the studios.
44:34
That's just got some bells and whistles and it please
44:37
uh fear not. You can call, you can text, you
44:41
can dance around with my ex. I don't know. It
44:44
just all struck me to be poetic this morning. This
44:47
text message. Terry said, what was it you were saying
44:52
about live every moment as if it's your last. Why
44:55
does that seem appropriate after the asassination of Charlie Kirk. Well,
45:03
it wasn't tied to it, but I guess you know,
45:05
you live in the zeitgeist of everything is everything all
45:09
at once? And Mack and I were discussing even just
45:16
fear for losing your job. And I don't want to
45:20
get deep think philosophic, philosophical, but you may have attended
45:24
some vigils. There is going to be a service. We'll
45:28
have the details coming up in our first things. Oh
45:33
you know what, those scripts are lost in there into
45:37
the ethereum. We may need to go figure out a
45:39
way to get them out of the computer. Call Gary
45:42
Sinise back at NASA headquarters and see if he can't
45:45
get those downloaded up here in Apollo thirteen in the morning.
45:50
But what we were getting at, and I think this
45:56
is a grander scheme picture than just in reaction to
46:00
the assassination of Charlie kirk Marty, is that this is
46:08
how you live righteously is first and foremost you learn
46:15
what right and wrong is. This is part and parcel
46:19
of viea. It goes along with learning what God has
46:22
gifted you to do. You have to learn what right
46:24
and wrong is. This is why one of the great
46:27
debasements of society, one of the great exploits that the
46:32
Marxists were able to do, was convincing us that somehow
46:36
it was unfair to display the ten Commandments in school,
46:43
and now we sit here like adult Knitwitz, wondering how
46:49
come everyone on the internet, all these twenty somethings are
46:52
so fine with lying. Oh, I don't know, because we
46:56
took away the making the point that it was a
46:58
grievous sin by eternal damnation if you bore forth false
47:03
witness against thy neighbor. I don't know. That might be connected,
47:07
Bob so Marty. The point I was making about live
47:12
every day and work every shift as if it's your last,
47:17
is something I learned years ago. I was young in broadcasting,
47:22
and I had a station owner that was particularly bellicost
47:28
fancied himself some postmodern George Steinbrinter, where you know, just
47:37
browbeating you constantly.
47:39
Speaker 6: Was away.
47:41
Speaker 2: Somebody said that on Friday on the program, the floggings
47:46
will continue until morale improved. That was the way life
47:50
was for me. This is why I don't hold Hyennas,
47:53
Massachusetts in highest team. I thought it was a beautiful
47:55
little town, had some fun, learned about roll up sandwiches
47:59
and that kind of thing. But boy, the floggings continued
48:04
until morale improved, and so I changed. I changed the
48:10
way I did things in order to try to make
48:13
the flogging stop, and then the floggings continued because now
48:19
I was being gas lilt into thinking changing how I
48:22
was doing it, still wasn't changing it to the right thing.
48:27
And this is an applicable analogy to anywhere in your life.
48:33
If the government is telling you you need to do
48:36
these things in this way, that's a flogging. They're flogging
48:40
you saying that you haven't behaved the way we want
48:42
you to because they have now removed that cornerstone of
48:47
knowing what right and wrong is. Once you can create
48:51
your own right and wrong, other people can recreate it
48:58
for you. They can say no, no, no, no, Your
49:00
list of right and wrong is wrong, right and wrong.
49:03
Our list of what's right and wrong is better more
49:06
right than you're wrong, and you go okay. And I
49:12
wound up being fired anyway and miserable and had to
49:15
kind of reboot my whole career. Much like the technology
49:18
in our studios, they've installed a subroutine, and it was,
49:25
it was, it was in my psyche, and it took
49:28
I guess two or three more years before I really
49:31
dawned on me that you can try doing it the
49:36
way everyone else tells you to do it. But if
49:39
you don't know what right and wrong is, you're going
49:40
to fall prey to that. But if you know what
49:42
righteous is, and you know what it is to be
49:46
of service to others, whether they need you need them
49:49
to be or not, you can you can live your
49:53
life the way you see fit. If you understand that
49:55
you're not harming anyone else by your actions, you can
49:59
live as you see fit, and you can squeeze every
50:02
drop of juice out of each and every day, and
50:05
you can do your job, whatever it may be, whether
50:09
you're the owner of a business, an employee of a business,
50:12
a contractor of a business, whatever it may be. If
50:15
you do what you do. This is sort of a
50:18
Tedsday abstract as well. If you do what you do
50:23
with all the passion and the zeal you can, and
50:25
you never leave one opportunity to help somebody with your business,
50:30
with your work unturned, you will be prosperous. I mean,
50:36
may not be rich, but you will be prosperous. It's
50:39
another thing the Marxists have done to us, is made
50:42
us forget those words. So what does this have to
50:45
do with Charlie Kirk? It has everything, It has everything,
50:50
and nothing. It has to do with Brent Prye and
50:52
getting fired. It has to do with doing your job
50:56
to the best of your ability and living your life
51:01
to the best of your ability, and then not having regrets,
51:06
not having that. Gosh if I had only And this
51:14
is why people say, well, how can you do what
51:16
you do? You were standing there in the middle of
51:19
the August twenty seventeen riots, Joe, how could you do that?
51:23
Weren't you afraid?
51:25
Speaker 6: Hell?
51:25
Speaker 2: I had my sister calling me. It was in the
51:27
middle of the scrum, in the riots of Charlottesville, and
51:30
my phone rings I'm trying to do live broadcasts and
51:33
my phone rings it's my sister saying, what the hell
51:36
are you doing? Every network I put on, I see
51:41
your head in this riot, and in your mother, by
51:44
the way, is freaking out. I'm like, I have to
51:46
cover this otherwise people will lie about what's going on here.
51:52
She She's like, all right, just be careful, and right
51:55
at that moment, I got a face full of pepper spray,
51:58
which didn't make my sister happy. But you have to
52:01
do what you have to do, and your job has
52:04
the same kind of flashpoint moments. Oh, I don't know
52:07
if I want to do that, it might be scary.
52:09
You have to do it. You have to do the
52:11
scary things. You have to live life every minute. You
52:15
have to do what's right, not what's wrong. But you
52:18
have to know that first. And that's what Charlie Kirk
52:21
was out there introducing all these twenty somethings. As I mentioned,
52:28
Horace Cooper is going to be on with us in
52:29
about forty five minutes and we're going to talk about
52:32
these movements and what happens when you try to end
52:36
a movement by assassinating its founding father. It's why one
52:41
of my columns that Daily Signal is titled Jefferson Lives
52:46
because America survived the passage of Thomas Jefferson. In today's
52:51
troubled world, are USA Armed Forces stand ready to protect
52:55
you and our American way of life?
52:58
Speaker 21: When veterans return to civilian life, they deserve your recognition
53:02
and support.
53:03
Speaker 16: You can help put vets to work by donating your car, truck,
53:06
or van to Patriotic Hearts.
53:09
Speaker 1: Your donation will directly support programs to help vets find
53:12
jobs or even start their own business.
53:15
Speaker 21: Donate today for fast free pickup of your vehicle running
53:19
or not.

53:23
