- 0:32Speaker 2: Welcome to a Tedstee. Thank you for letting me be
- 0:36Speaker 2: of service to you on the radio program that is
- 0:39Speaker 2: first and foremost unabashed about calling itself a radio program.
- 0:44Speaker 2: I don't understand people in my industry like, no, we
- 0:48Speaker 2: are a synergy of... I don't know, it's amplitude or
- 0:53Speaker 2: frequency modulation, and we've been doing it since the 30s,
- 0:57Speaker 2: so why are we... I just don't get it. Why
- 1:00Speaker 2: longevity is considered a bad thing. Oh, we have content.
- 1:05Speaker 2: We just call it news. Again, why did we have
- 1:10Speaker 2: to rebrand it as news? Unless it's because the Marxists
- 1:14Speaker 2: want us to pretend it's something it isn't. It's not news.
- 1:18Speaker 2: It's content. Okay. Does that mean I can't sue you
- 1:22Speaker 2: if you lie about me? Yeah, basically. It means, you know,
- 1:25Speaker 2: I was a And don't kid yourself. That's why some
- 1:28Speaker 2: of it is called content. Content is not nearly as
- 1:32Speaker 2: litigatable as news might be. But truthiness off to the
- 1:38Speaker 2: side for this Ted's D morning. Continue to visit us

- 2:20Speaker 2: At JoeThomasInTheMorning.com. Plenty to get into. Socialism polling. And a
- 2:27Speaker 2: proof to a truism in Washington, D.C. The most dangerous
- 2:31Speaker 2: place in Washington is not down where the drug gangs
- 2:35Speaker 2: are or anything like that. It's in between a senator
- 2:39Speaker 2: and a TV camera. The most amazing. I mean, it's
- 2:43Speaker 2: ripped right from Bloom County. Or who was the guy
- 2:48Speaker 2: who did Senator Claghorn?
- 2:51Speaker 3: I say, look at me when I'm talking to you.
- 2:54Speaker 3: We're going to fix air travel into Washington, D.C. We're
- 2:57Speaker 3: going to fix it, I tell you. I say, look
- 3:00Speaker 3: at me when I'm talking to you, boy. So we've
- 3:03Speaker 3: got all of that coming up for you this morning.
- 3:08Speaker 3: But first, our first things. Senator Bill Cassidy, the outgoing
- 3:13Speaker 3: senator from Louisiana, is urging Congress to tackle something called
- 3:18Speaker 3: Social Security. He said rising health care costs also need
- 3:23Speaker 3: to be tackled before it becomes out of hand. He
- 3:27Speaker 3: pointed to a 2026 Social Security Trustees report that came
- 3:32Speaker 3: out two months ago, which found the program's retirement trust
- 3:36Speaker 3: would become insolvent in 2032. Meanwhile, the rest of Congress
- 3:42Speaker 3: was busy voting to end the war in Iran.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Again.
- 3:46Speaker 2: For the third time, the House voted. A few more
- 3:48Speaker 2: Republicans joining Hakeem Jeffries' team. 220-204 was the final, approving
- 3:54Speaker 2: a War Powers Resolution that would stop President Trump's ability
- 3:58Speaker 2: to continue military action without congressional approval. Senator Ted Cruz
- 4:04Speaker 2: held an event outside the Capitol building to introduce... the
- 4:10Speaker 2: Protect College Athletics Act, which I guess is more important
- 4:14Speaker 2: for the U.S. Senate to pass than the Save America Act.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Vice President J.D. Vance said the conflict in Iran is
- 4:21Speaker 2: going to enter, quote, a much different phase in the
- 4:24Speaker 2: next several months as the administration shifts its focus towards
- 4:28Speaker 2: preventing Tehran from rebuilding its military capabilities. Congressman Thomas Massey
- 4:36Speaker 2: of Kentucky introduced eight Articles of impeachment Tuesday against War
- 4:40Speaker 2: Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of helping to carry out
- 4:44Speaker 2: an unauthorized war. FBI Director Kash Patel was grilled during
- 4:50Speaker 2: a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing over policy changes that allow
- 4:54Speaker 2: some applicants who have engaged in prostitution and other sexual
- 4:59Speaker 2: acts to be considered for employment. Relatives and friends of
- 5:04Speaker 2: 67 people who died last year when an American Airlines
- 5:08Speaker 2: jet and an Army helicopter collided over the Potomac River
- 5:11Speaker 2: on approach to Dulles Airport, joined with Senators Mark Warner
- 5:16Speaker 2: and Tim Kaine to demand the National Transportation Safety Board
- 5:21Speaker 2: do more. Senators Kaine and Warner introduced the DCA Air
- 5:26Speaker 2: Safety Act, which caps the number of flights that would
- 5:29Speaker 2: be permitted to fly into Reagan Airport. National Airport each hour.
- 5:33Speaker 2: The NTSB's final report does not list volume of air
- 5:37Speaker 2: traffic as a cause of the January 29th air traffic crash.
- 5:43Speaker 2: The head of the FAA did say the first phase
- 5:46Speaker 2: of a plan to modernize air traffic control could cost $ 12. 5
- 5:50Speaker 2: billion just for phase one Bedford told the congressional leaders
- 6:00Speaker 2: as he gave testimony. And the Kennedy board voted Tuesday
- 6:04Speaker 2: to close. Those are our first things so far this morning. JCSgold.com
- 6:15Speaker 2: is one of our great supporters. And, you know, it's
- 6:18Speaker 2: almost a stereotype that talk radio shows have gold and
- 6:23Speaker 2: silver companies supporting them. But in this case, this is
- 6:27Speaker 2: a family business. No ups, no extras. JCSGold.com. You can
- 6:32Speaker 2: see gold and silver both at a bounce back yesterday.
- 6:36Speaker 2: Gold trading at $ 43. 32 and $ 0.
- 6:37Speaker 4: 13.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Silver at $ 64. 53 right now. But I really suggest you
- 6:39Speaker 2: call them after 10 Eastern at 434-979-COIN to talk to
- 6:41Speaker 2: them about where you are. in your gold and silver
- 6:52Speaker 2: investment journey. Maybe you've just gotten tired of hearing the
- 6:55Speaker 2: radio ads and you want to find out more from
- 6:57Speaker 2: a family that's not there working on quotas or trying
- 7:00Speaker 2: to up.
- 7:01Speaker 5: For veterans concerned about their alcohol or drug use, seeking
- 7:05Speaker 5: help can be the first step toward recovery.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Dr.
- 7:08Speaker 5: Joseph Liberto, National Mental Health Director for Substance Use Disorders
- 7:13Speaker 5: with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has more.
- 7:16Speaker 6: May is Mental Health Month, and VA is committed to
- 7:19Speaker 6: letting every veteran know that help is available. Substance use

- 8:03Speaker 7: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 7: I'm Dr.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Mitch.
- 8:14Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 8:20Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 8:24Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 8:28Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 8:32Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 8:39Speaker 7: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 8:43Speaker 7: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 8:47Speaker 7: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 8:52Speaker 7: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
- 8:57Speaker 7: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
- 9:02Speaker 8: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 9:05Speaker 8: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 9:10Speaker 8: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
- 9:13Speaker 8: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
- 9:16Speaker 8: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 9:21Speaker 8: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 9:25Speaker 8: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 9:29Speaker 8: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
- 9:33Speaker 8: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 9:37Speaker 8: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
- 9:42Speaker 8: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
- 9:46Speaker 8: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov
- 9:53Speaker 8: Share this information with your friends and family.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Hi, everybody.
- 9:59Speaker 5: I'm Jack Hanna.
- 10:00Speaker 9: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
- 10:01Speaker 9: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
- 10:05Speaker 9: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
- 10:07Speaker 9: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
- 10:10Speaker 9: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes who work hard
- 10:13Speaker 9: to provide for their young. Or penguins, who travel up
- 10:16Speaker 9: to 500 miles to secure food for their families. Or
- 10:18Speaker 9: bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
- 10:21Speaker 9: trees and the wild in search of fruit. This remarkable
- 10:24Speaker 9: work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
- 10:28Speaker 9: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
- 10:30Speaker 9: because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work
- 10:33Speaker 9: every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
- 10:36Speaker 9: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
- 10:39Speaker 9: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
- 10:42Speaker 9: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
- 10:45Speaker 9: roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
- 10:47Speaker 9: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
- 10:50Speaker 9: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
- 10:53Speaker 9: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
- 10:59Speaker 10: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 4: Oh, yeah?
- 11:01Speaker 6: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:04Speaker 4: And now a speech.
- 11:06Speaker 11: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 11:10Speaker 11: Heart and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 9: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 11:15Speaker 11: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 11:18Speaker 11: somebody call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 10: Love that guy.
- 11:20Speaker 1: Me too.
- 11:21Speaker 12: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 11:23Speaker 12: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:28Speaker 13: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 11:31Speaker 13: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:35Speaker 13: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 11:39Speaker 13: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42Speaker 13: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 11:46Speaker 13: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 11:51Speaker 13: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 11:54Speaker 13: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 11:58Speaker 13: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 12:00Speaker 13: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 12:04Speaker 13: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 12:07Speaker 13: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 12:11Speaker 13: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.

- 12:32Speaker 14: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35Speaker 14: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
- 12:40Speaker 14: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.

- 13:12Speaker 1: Talk radio just the way your mother used to make
- 13:14Speaker 1: it first thing today by joe thomas on the talk
- 13:18Speaker 1: media network.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
- 13:24Speaker 2: uh Bend over and relax for me for a moment.
- 13:30Speaker 2: As we celebrate Ted's D for those uninitiated, it has, well,
- 13:35Speaker 2: outside of a metaphorical connection to great gonzos, it's about
- 13:42Speaker 2: understanding what God has gifted you to do. Figuring that
- 13:46Speaker 2: part out is the hard bit. That's why they give
- 13:49Speaker 2: you like 18 years to figure it out. But you
- 13:54Speaker 2: can do it anytime. As I've said before, Every day
- 13:58Speaker 2: is New Year's Day if you need a checkup from
- 14:00Speaker 2: the neck up. When you need a reset, every day
- 14:04Speaker 2: is New Year's Day. Maybe without the champagne. That depends
- 14:08Speaker 2: on where you are. So you find out what it
- 14:11Speaker 2: is God has gifted you to be doing for others
- 14:15Speaker 2: on this planet. You do that. Others compensate you justly
- 14:20Speaker 2: for it. And then you don't have to care what
- 14:24Speaker 2: the keyboard warriors say about you. It's how we program
- 14:29Speaker 2: this radio program. And if you are in a place
- 14:33Speaker 2: where you don't know, let me know at 434-882-4217 so
- 14:36Speaker 2: that we can work on it. I mean, we're not
- 14:42Speaker 2: going to do Tony Robbins here on you. We're not
- 14:44Speaker 2: going to go all Tony Robbins and, you know, well,
- 14:47Speaker 2: the secret to getting good answers is asking good questions
- 14:50Speaker 2: and stuff like that. But I've got some tips. Because
- 14:54Speaker 2: I wasn't always that guy. I didn't always know what
- 14:57Speaker 2: it was God had put me here to do. I
- 14:59Speaker 2: thought I was just here to toss out beer company
- 15:02Speaker 2: T-shirts with radio station logos on them and drink watered
- 15:08Speaker 2: down beer at beach bars. Then I figured it out.
- 15:12Speaker 2: Life changed a lot. I wish I knew where all
- 15:15Speaker 2: the money I made back in those days were, but
- 15:17Speaker 2: that's often the case when you figure out what God
- 15:19Speaker 2: has gifted you to do. I want to get into
- 15:23Speaker 2: this socialism poll. Also, I want to– this Kennedy Center
- 15:29Speaker 2: thing is funny because Trump tried to save the Kennedy Center,
- 15:35Speaker 2: and the Kennedy Center board said, that's it. We're done.
- 15:39Speaker 2: Close it up. It was a nice idea because government
- 15:42Speaker 2: art is– did the Italian government– I know there's arguments
- 15:50Speaker 2: that the Medici's were technically the government, but no, they
- 15:54Speaker 2: were just a rich family that wanted to paint the
- 15:56Speaker 2: ceiling of a church and other things. So they got
- 16:00Speaker 2: this Michael D'Angelo guy to. I know, I know. It's
- 16:05Speaker 2: actually a project. One of my classmates at Bayside High
- 16:10Speaker 2: School presented as their final project. was a depiction of
- 16:14Speaker 2: Michael D'Angelo, and I'm quoting here, Michael D'Angelo painting the
- 16:18Speaker 2: ceiling of the 16th Chapel. Yes, my high school. People
- 16:26Speaker 2: think education is bad today. Let me get to you
- 16:29Speaker 2: at 434-882-4217. We haven't really laid out the list of
- 16:35Speaker 2: things we're going to touch today, so I don't know
- 16:37Speaker 2: what's triggered you so early. Good morning. You're on the
- 16:40Speaker 2: air with Joe first thing this morning. Who's this?
- 16:43Speaker 13: Hey, Joe, it's Clark.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Hey, good morning, Clark. How are you doing this early
- 16:46Speaker 2: hour in Alabama?
- 16:48Speaker 15: Ah, well, it's close to nap time for me because
- 16:53Speaker 15: I got started way too early. But anyway....
- 16:56Speaker 2: That's the Marine in you.
- 16:58Speaker 15: Yes. Let's do some pattern recognition for a minute, Joe.
- 17:04Speaker 2: Okie doke.
- 17:06Speaker 15: So, circa 1970... We have to limit our rate of
- 17:12Speaker 15: reproduction or we're going to overpopulate the planet.
- 17:19Speaker 2: And we'll all starve. Paul Ehrlich's population bomb, that's right.
- 17:24Speaker 15: Yes, yes. So we were fairmongered into a position whereby
- 17:29Speaker 15: we limited our own rate of reproduction. How's that worked
- 17:33Speaker 15: out for us? Let's see. Oh gosh, I guess now
- 17:35Speaker 15: we have to have Millions and millions of people come
- 17:40Speaker 15: here because we don't have enough people, so we've got
- 17:45Speaker 15: to dilute our country there. Let's see. Number two.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Actually, can I insert before number two comes along? And
- 17:53Speaker 2: we don't even know the outcome of this generation's zeal
- 17:58Speaker 2: with eunuchhood, where more and more kids are being told,
- 18:03Speaker 2: just remove all the sexual parts. from your body and
- 18:06Speaker 2: you'll be happier. We know from a fact that that
- 18:09Speaker 2: hasn't happened, but what is the demographic impact of creating
- 18:14Speaker 2: an entire generation with a percentage of them dedicated to
- 18:19Speaker 2: being a eunuch for the rest of their lives?
- 18:22Speaker 15: There you go. Now, let's see. The next thing to
- 18:26Speaker 15: come down the pipe, I don't know. Let's see. We're
- 18:30Speaker 15: going to have an ice age. We're going to burn up.
- 18:33Speaker 15: We're going to have climate change if we don't limit
- 18:39Speaker 15: our use of fossil fuels right and now everybody's all
- 18:45Speaker 15: on a tiz because we're paying way too much for
- 18:49Speaker 15: um fossil fuels so we got fear-mongered into that position
- 18:57Speaker 15: um how much does beef cost at the grocery store
- 19:00Speaker 15: right now.
- 19:00Speaker 2: Joe you're uh Actually, honest to goodness, asking the wrong guy.
- 19:05Speaker 2: Number one, I don't shop in my family, and I
- 19:08Speaker 2: don't partake in that particular protein source anymore. So I
- 19:12Speaker 2: do know it's pricey. I couldn't quote you a per
- 19:16Speaker 2: pound rate.
- 19:18Speaker 15: Yeah, so if we don't limit our protein consumption through
- 19:23Speaker 15: animal sources, greenhouse gases are going to destroy the planet.
- 19:28Speaker 15: We got fearmongered into that position. Yeah. Let's see, if
- 19:32Speaker 15: we don't do what Anthony Fauci says, we're all going
- 19:38Speaker 15: to die from COVID.
- 19:39Speaker 5: Right.
- 19:40Speaker 15: We got fairmongered into that position.
- 19:42Speaker 2: Staying home, shuttering your business, going broke.
- 19:45Speaker 15: Yeah. So I figure probably Sunday night. we're going to
- 19:51Speaker 15: have Dan Ratherskovich and Morley Safer narrate The Terminator and
- 19:57Speaker 15: tell us it's a documentary on AI destroying our society.
- 20:03Speaker 2: I posted something to my X feed, JTITMVirginia. that my
- 20:11Speaker 2: friend Chris Horner is a brilliant lawyer, jurist, but also
- 20:17Speaker 2: he was there, he was working for Enron when GE
- 20:21Speaker 2: and California Edison or whoever they were came into the
- 20:25Speaker 2: office of Ken Lay and said, hey, we got an idea.
- 20:28Speaker 2: We could sell more solar panels and wind turbines if,
- 20:32Speaker 2: and then fun and frolic ensued, And he's been on
- 20:37Speaker 2: the case of debunking all this stuff through multiple bestselling
- 20:41Speaker 2: books like Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming, Power Grab,
- 20:47Speaker 2: books like that. He reposted a piece, and I want
- 20:51Speaker 2: to get into it this morning. It's on my list
- 20:54Speaker 2: of things to touch, that AI is the new climate change.
- 21:00Speaker 5: Yes, yes.
- 21:02Speaker 15: And, you know, here's the thing. Ask me, do I
- 21:05Speaker 15: trust AI? Do I trust our government having control of AI? No,
- 21:10Speaker 15: I don't. But I don't trust the Chinese having control
- 21:15Speaker 15: of it more.
- 21:17Speaker 2: You know why you don't trust it? Because people are flawed.
- 21:21Speaker 2: So the more power people have over each other, the
- 21:24Speaker 2: more bad things are going to happen.
- 21:27Speaker 15: Oh, absolute corruption on the way.
- 21:29Speaker 2: Yeah. You want to talk about the Mac Daddy of
- 21:31Speaker 2: all pattern recognition. Hey, the light at the end of
- 21:34Speaker 2: the tunnel appears to be an oncoming newscast, Clark, but
- 21:38Speaker 2: I appreciate the pattern recognition this morning. Cash Patel will
- 21:41Speaker 2: be on the phone and ask you to come to
- 21:43Speaker 2: Quantico at some point again.
- 21:44Speaker 15: I'm waiting to be discovered.
- 21:48Speaker 2: All right. Talk to you later, my friend.
- 21:52Speaker 1: 434-882-4217.
- 21:52Speaker 2: You can also text message that line if you're crazy
- 21:55Speaker 2: busy and you don't have time for the phone call
- 21:58Speaker 2: on first thing today.
- 22:02Speaker 7: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 22:07Speaker 7: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
- 22:12Speaker 7: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 22:17Speaker 7: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 22:21Speaker 7: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
- 22:27Speaker 7: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 22:31Speaker 7: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 22:34Speaker 7: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 22:38Speaker 7: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 22:41Speaker 7: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
- 22:46Speaker 7: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

- 24:03Speaker 7: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 7: I'm Dr.
- 24:13Speaker 16: Mitch.
- 24:14Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 24:19Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 24:23Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 24:28Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 24:32Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 24:39Speaker 7: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 24:43Speaker 7: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 24:46Speaker 7: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 24:51Speaker 7: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

- 25:02Speaker 8: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 25:05Speaker 8: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 25:10Speaker 8: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
- 25:13Speaker 8: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
- 25:17Speaker 8: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 25:21Speaker 8: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 25:25Speaker 8: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 25:29Speaker 8: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
- 25:33Speaker 8: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 25:37Speaker 8: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,

- 25:55Speaker 10: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 25:56Speaker 12: Oh, yeah?
- 25:57Speaker 2: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 25:59Speaker 11: And now a speech. I just want to say that
- 26:03Speaker 11: friendship is about heart.
- 26:05Speaker 2: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 26:08Speaker 9: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 26:10Speaker 11: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 26:13Speaker 11: somebody call me a ride.
- 26:15Speaker 10: Love that guy.
- 26:16Speaker 11: Me too.
- 26:16Speaker 12: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 26:19Speaker 12: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 26:23Speaker 13: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 26:25Speaker 13: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 26:29Speaker 13: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 26:34Speaker 13: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 26:36Speaker 13: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
- 26:40Speaker 13: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 26:46Speaker 13: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors.
- 26:49Speaker 13: Check ducts for holes and improve your insulation. Another time
- 26:53Speaker 13: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 26:55Speaker 13: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 26:58Speaker 13: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 27:02Speaker 13: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 27:05Speaker 13: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 27:09Speaker 13: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
- 27:12Speaker 13: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.

- 27:37Speaker 17: a brother like you.
- 27:38Speaker 1: Lucky?
- 27:39Speaker 18: Caring for my brother is far from easy. But he's
- 27:43Speaker 18: a part of me, like my arms and legs, so
- 27:45Speaker 18: I'll be his. No time for tired, Nothing can disable
- 27:49Speaker 18: this love. He needs me, but I'm the lucky one,

- 28:20Speaker 1: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
- 28:25Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 28:26Speaker 3: And we'll leave the lights on, Uncle Ted.
- 28:31Speaker 2: On this Ted Steve morning. So what do you mean?
- 28:35Speaker 2: What do you mean? What are you getting at there?
- 28:39Speaker 2: And so Chris Horner, and I say this because, you know,
- 28:42Speaker 2: who the hell am I? I'm just a guy. who
- 28:46Speaker 2: listens to people and gathers along, you know, as Dr.
- 28:50Speaker 2: Clark calls it, pattern recognition. You just collect things and
- 28:53Speaker 2: you wait for the discordance. And it's interesting, Dr. Clark
- 28:59Speaker 2: took us all the way back to the population bomb,
- 29:05Speaker 2: because much of our climate alarmism is still being driven
- 29:10Speaker 2: by the devotees of Paul Ehrlich, like, you know, folks
- 29:14Speaker 2: who survived Jamestown, Jonestown, or Jamestown. They should survive that too.
- 29:20Speaker 2: But for those, you know, it's like somebody who survived
- 29:22Speaker 2: Jonestown still going out there trying to preach the gospel
- 29:27Speaker 2: of Jim Jones. The population bomb said there's just finite
- 29:35Speaker 2: resources and we can't make more and we're all going
- 29:38Speaker 2: to die because we're just making excess consumers. I think
- 29:44Speaker 2: some of the World Economic Forum geniuses call them excess eaters.
- 29:52Speaker 2: But all we do is we get up, we push
- 29:54Speaker 2: paper around and we eat and we consume and then
- 29:57Speaker 2: we throw out half our food because we buy more
- 30:00Speaker 2: than we should, especially Americans. And I'm not saying there
- 30:03Speaker 2: aren't some things to that, but government incursion into these
- 30:07Speaker 2: kind of things has never worked out. As a matter
- 30:10Speaker 2: of fact, it's generally the first step towards Marxism. Vaclav
- 30:15Speaker 2: Klaus has a wonderful book called Blue Planet in Green Shackles.
- 30:22Speaker 2: He had survived the Soviet occupation, Czechoslovakia, brotherly Czechoslovakia, and
- 30:31Speaker 2: he then upon its release from behind the iron curtain,
- 30:39Speaker 2: saw the Green Agenda people descend and said, hold it,
- 30:44Speaker 2: this is the same stuff the communists did to us.
- 30:49Speaker 2: It's a wonderful book. Of course, the poll says that
- 30:54Speaker 2: 30% of Americans don't have a disfavorable view of socialism,
- 30:59Speaker 2: so we might be in trouble. Unless you get more
- 31:02Speaker 2: people to listen to this program or share my podcast
- 31:05Speaker 2: at Spotify or iTunes or you choose, iHeart, you know,
- 31:11Speaker 2: all the distribution, all the cool kids clubs. But share
- 31:14Speaker 2: it because the more people that get it, the more
- 31:18Speaker 2: people will get it. So yesterday I reposted one of
- 31:23Speaker 2: those folks I listen to for this kind of stuff
- 31:26Speaker 2: is Chris Horner. Chris Horner was first introduced to me, gosh,
- 31:31Speaker 2: almost 20 years ago. And I had no idea he
- 31:36Speaker 2: lived in my hometown. He's a great author of books
- 31:38Speaker 2: like Climate. At that point, it was Politically Incorrect Guide.
- 31:42Speaker 6: To Global Warming.
- 31:44Speaker 2: And I believe Power Grab had come out. Red Hot
- 31:50Speaker 2: Lies was another one that came along the way. Now,
- 31:53Speaker 2: with a group called the Government Accountability and Oversight. govoversight.org
- 32:00Speaker 2: is where you find his current work, but Chris reposted
- 32:02Speaker 2: a piece. It's a post of a post of a post,
- 32:06Speaker 2: and I don't care. The left does it too. Linnea
- 32:09Speaker 2: Lukin posted a link to Climate Depot, Mark Marano's great
- 32:15Speaker 2: work as well, in the debunking of this population control
- 32:22Speaker 2: ethic of Paul Ehrlich's disciples. Linnea Lukin reposts a piece
- 32:30Speaker 2: by Jordan Schnockdell, who writes, Jordan does, two of the
- 32:36Speaker 2: reporters on Byline, Time Magazine, are funded by the Tarbell Center,
- 32:42Speaker 2: an AI doomer organization controlled by Kamala Harris mega-donor Dustin Moskowitz.
- 32:50Speaker 2: Tarbell gives journalists large grants to insert AI doomer stories
- 32:55Speaker 2: into prominent outlets. Time magazine did not disclose this affiliation.
- 33:00Speaker 2: I think Andrew Curran was one of the reporters. Lucan
- 33:07Speaker 2: then adds, the reason Time and others are running the
- 33:10Speaker 2: same play against AI that they did for climate change
- 33:14Speaker 2: is because it worked extremely well and made a bunch
- 33:18Speaker 2: of money for the quote, right people. Recall this exact
- 33:23Speaker 2: mechanism exists for climate alarmism, not for sober analysis or moderation,
- 33:28Speaker 2: but frantic catastrophizing. And as somebody who invents new words
- 33:35Speaker 2: all the time, if I have a concept in my
- 33:38Speaker 2: head and I just I can't find in my lexicon
- 33:42Speaker 2: a word that fits it, I'll often make one up
- 33:46Speaker 2: that seems to fit what I'm looking for. And I
- 33:50Speaker 2: love the phrase catastrophizing because that's what they've done. We're
- 33:56Speaker 2: all going to die. The coastlines are all going to
- 33:59Speaker 2: be gone. Kansas is going to be seafront property. We're
- 34:05Speaker 2: still seeing movies about it. What was the one about
- 34:10Speaker 2: the new one with Tom Cruise?
- 34:13Speaker 15: Digger.
- 34:13Speaker 2: There's a new movie. Tom Cruise decided he had so
- 34:18Speaker 2: much fun playing the movie company head in Tropic Thunder
- 34:25Speaker 2: that he's decided to do it again. And this movie
- 34:30Speaker 2: is called Digger. He wears a lot of prosthetics to
- 34:33Speaker 2: look like an old oil well baron who has cracked
- 34:39Speaker 2: the polar ice cap and is about to kill billions
- 34:44Speaker 2: of people with the ensuing tsunami. So they're still doing it,
- 34:52Speaker 2: the catastrophizing of climate. And part of it is because
- 34:59Speaker 2: the surety industry wants us to be catastrophized, because the
- 35:04Speaker 2: surety industry wants you to believe that they will be
- 35:08Speaker 2: there when the catastrophe strikes, and then they're not. And conveniently,
- 35:16Speaker 2: because the government needs the insurance industry telling you that,
- 35:19Speaker 2: lest we start asking the government to do it, the
- 35:23Speaker 2: government won't ever go after the insurance industry for abandoning
- 35:29Speaker 2: those who had been convinced. And there's always something on
- 35:33Speaker 2: page 84. My son's girlfriend got a call from her
- 35:40Speaker 2: health insurance and said, hey, um, we need to do
- 35:44Speaker 2: an in-home visit once a year with you. And she said,
- 35:48Speaker 2: what the hell is that about? I said, not to
- 35:50Speaker 2: sound like one of those people, but that's so they
- 35:53Speaker 2: can come and look around your house.
- 35:55Speaker 10: Why?
- 35:56Speaker 2: I said, because then they can start a dossier on
- 35:59Speaker 2: your lifestyle. If they come in and they see a
- 36:05Speaker 2: 144 count case of Snickers bars, they're going to write
- 36:09Speaker 2: that down. It'll be collecting data so that they can
- 36:12Speaker 2: say no. This is why the COVID vaccines became so important.
- 36:18Speaker 2: Not because the COVID vaccines helped anyone or were safe
- 36:21Speaker 2: and effective, but so the health insurance company could say, hey,
- 36:25Speaker 2: we're not paying for that COVID treatment you needed at
- 36:29Speaker 2: the hospital because you didn't have your 16th booster shot
- 36:33Speaker 2: as prescribed by the blah, blah, blah. It's all so
- 36:39Speaker 2: that you fail at some proviso. The filmmakers of the
- 36:51Speaker 2: original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had it perfect.
- 36:56Speaker 16: You lose.
- 36:58Speaker 2: You stole fizzy lifting drinks. In the contract and all
- 37:05Speaker 2: of that. So that's why they catastrophize, so that they
- 37:10Speaker 2: can put it on their actuarial table and then determine
- 37:14Speaker 2: what you will have fixed, made whole, when the things
- 37:19Speaker 2: that you have grown so fragile in your life are
- 37:22Speaker 2: challenged or changed or somehow rent asunders. And I know
- 37:31Speaker 2: that many of you, as a matter of fact, one
- 37:34Speaker 2: of Donald Trump's favorite pollsters is out there saying Republicans
- 37:38Speaker 2: should watch out for programs like this. Expect to hear
- 37:42Speaker 2: fewer and fewer office-seeking Republicans on this program because I'm
- 37:46Speaker 2: not pitching this AI alarmism any more than I pitched
- 37:53Speaker 2: the climate alarmism. So we're just going to have to
- 37:57Speaker 2: take them on their own words because they're not going
- 37:59Speaker 2: to tell you and me.
- 38:01Speaker 20: At Hot Shot Secret, we share the science behind common
- 38:04Speaker 20: diesel problems and their solutions.
- 38:06Speaker 2: For example, diesel fuel cetane levels.
- 38:08Speaker 20: In many states, the cetane rating in diesel fuel is
- 38:12Speaker 20: 42 to 45. Most diesel engines operate more efficiently with
- 38:15Speaker 20: a cetane rating of 48 to 50. One treatment of
- 38:18Speaker 20: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your cetane seven points,
- 38:21Speaker 20: increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts. Due to a
- 38:25Speaker 20: cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons and particulate matter in
- 38:28Speaker 20: your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of your diesel particulate filter.
- 38:32Speaker 20: Using Diesel Extreme generates 83% less DPF regenerations. The 6-in-1
- 38:38Speaker 20: Diesel Extreme formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on
- 38:42Speaker 20: the market, lubricity enhancer, water demulsifier, rust and corrosion inhibitors,
- 38:47Speaker 20: and a fuel stabilizer.
- 38:49Speaker 1: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme is available nationwide at truck stops,
- 38:52Speaker 1: fine farm and auto stores, and online at hotshotsecret.com. Hot
- 38:57Speaker 1: Shot Secret. Powered by science.

- 40:05Speaker 11: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
- 40:09Speaker 11: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.

- 40:57Speaker 19: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 41:03Speaker 19: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
- 41:08Speaker 19: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 41:12Speaker 19: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 41:15Speaker 19: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 41:21Speaker 19: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 41:24Speaker 19: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:27Speaker 19: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:32Speaker 19: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
- 41:36Speaker 19: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
- 41:41Speaker 19: Eat better.
- 41:42Speaker 7: Get moving.

- 43:05Speaker 15: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
- 43:07Speaker 16: Okay, don't tell me what to do. Cannonball!
- 43:12Speaker 12: Cramp!
- 43:12Speaker 5: Oh, I have a cramp.
- 43:16Speaker 13: I can probably hit the green from here.
- 43:19Speaker 2: Probably.
- 43:23Speaker 16: Can I get a mulligan?
- 43:26Speaker 2: Ready to go?
- 43:27Speaker 10: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 43:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay. Probably okay
- 43:36Speaker 2: isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking and driving.
- 43:40Speaker 2: If you're drinking, call a cab, a car, or a friend.
- 43:43Speaker 2: Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message brought to you
- 43:45Speaker 2: by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
- 43:47Speaker 17: You know the legal drinking age is 21. You may
- 43:50Speaker 17: also know this law protects teens. Find out more at DontServeTeens.gov.
- 43:56Speaker 17: A message from the We Don't Serve Teens program and
- 43:58Speaker 17: the Federal Trade Commission.
- 44:11Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:18Speaker 15: This is our friends at K-Far and just kind of
- 44:20Speaker 15: play Fred Behr.
- 44:47Speaker 2: Apparently, they're less than 10 clicks or so from Fred
- 44:52Speaker 2: Bear's stomping grounds. But in any events, I appreciate you
- 44:55Speaker 2: guys out there doing what you do. So here it goes.
- 45:01Speaker 2: You cut an unusual path, and you're going to get
- 45:05Speaker 2: people who are like, but I heard this other guy,
- 45:09Speaker 2: but the girl said, and that's fine. Take my analysis.
- 45:18Speaker 2: take Chris Horner's analysis of climate change, take the word
- 45:23Speaker 2: climate change out, insert AI, and tell me you're not
- 45:27Speaker 2: seeing the same thing. Tell me that this guy Modi,
- 45:33Speaker 2: is that the guy from Anthropic? Let's just call him Claude.
- 45:40Speaker 2: The CEO of Anthropic, who we will refer to as Claude,
- 45:49Speaker 2: is doing the same thing Ken Lay did in the
- 45:53Speaker 2: glory days of climate catastrophizing. I love that word. And
- 46:04Speaker 2: so he's out there over the weekend saying, oh, you
- 46:07Speaker 2: guys better do something about this AI. It's out of control.
- 46:11Speaker 2: Meaning punish me, punish me. Oh, won't you please punish me?
- 46:19Speaker 2: And you'll say, well, that seems kind of self-defeating. No,
- 46:23Speaker 2: it isn't. See, that's what these guys like Ken Lay
- 46:26Speaker 2: and these folks, the more they get the government to
- 46:28Speaker 2: intercede into their industry, the more they profit because more
- 46:33Speaker 2: than likely they will be the ones left standing because
- 46:37Speaker 2: they will be the ones who have already contributed to
- 46:41Speaker 2: a politician's campaign. See your local electric utility and how
- 46:48Speaker 2: much money they give to both Democrats and Republicans. Happens
- 46:52Speaker 2: all the time. And there is no government intercession that's
- 46:58Speaker 2: going to protect you from bad actors. Because just like
- 47:03Speaker 2: in the ecology, remember, are you old enough to remember
- 47:07Speaker 2: when this stuff was called the ecology? The ecosystem? It
- 47:14Speaker 2: wasn't just climate. We had an ecosystem. It was like
- 47:19Speaker 2: things did things with other things. Ecologically speaking, there were
- 47:26Speaker 2: bad actors. Some of it was because we didn't know.
- 47:30Speaker 2: Some of it was once we learned we didn't care
- 47:34Speaker 2: or didn't want to pay to change. I used to
- 47:37Speaker 2: live in Buffalo. I was in Buffalo when they reopened
- 47:41Speaker 2: Love Canal. It was like No, it wasn't Altria. Altria
- 47:47Speaker 2: is what we called Philip Morris after cigarettes. But it
- 47:51Speaker 2: was like Garden Estates or something like that. The Superfund
- 47:57Speaker 2: site was finally finished and they were able to build.
- 48:01Speaker 2: I'll give you 50 cents for this house and then
- 48:04Speaker 2: I'll let you know. I'll take the other 500 grand
- 48:07Speaker 2: and put it into my medical care bills just in case.
- 48:11Speaker 2: But that was a sight. If you go along the
- 48:13Speaker 2: Niagara River heading towards Niagara Falls, slowly I turn. But
- 48:20Speaker 2: if you're going down the Niagara River towards Niagara Falls,
- 48:23Speaker 2: there's all these old facilities, these old manufacturing facilities, because
- 48:28Speaker 2: they used to be able to get electricity very inexpensively
- 48:33Speaker 2: because it was coming right from Niagara Falls. It was
- 48:36Speaker 2: like going right to the farm stand. instead of waiting
- 48:39Speaker 2: for the tomatoes to make their way to Publix. And
- 48:44Speaker 2: then the electric commissions came in and said, that's not fair.
- 48:50Speaker 2: They took electricity away from the electric companies and made
- 48:54Speaker 2: it a government function. And then all these manufacturing facilities
- 48:58Speaker 2: were like, well, what the hell are we doing out
- 49:00Speaker 2: here in the butt end of New York state on
- 49:03Speaker 2: a river with no highway to take our stuff anywhere?
- 49:06Speaker 2: No train line. Dumb place for a factory unless you
- 49:10Speaker 2: were getting cheap electricity. And once they weren't, so they
- 49:13Speaker 2: started closing. And the first one to be redeveloped was
- 49:17Speaker 2: Carborundum's site. and it became known in history as Love Canal,
- 49:25Speaker 2: adding phrases like superfund account and Al Gore to our
- 49:29Speaker 2: lexicon for it. So there are going to be bad actors.
- 49:33Speaker 2: There are going to be bad actors in artificial intelligence
- 49:35Speaker 2: as well. This guy Claude may be one of them.
- 49:40Speaker 2: Ken Lay certainly was one of them, profiteering. So what
- 49:44Speaker 2: do you do? You do what we did with Ken Lay.
- 49:46Speaker 2: You punish them thoroughly and publicly for their bad behavior.
- 49:52Speaker 2: You don't go and create ridiculous laws. And with that,
- 49:58Speaker 2: I segue. Not enough O's and smooths for me this morning.
- 50:04Speaker 2: As an example of what happens when the government tries
- 50:07Speaker 2: to do something it can't do anything about, witness Mark
- 50:14Speaker 2: Warner and Tim Kaine. This is moderately personal to me
- 50:18Speaker 2: because they are the U.S. senators from Virginia. Rather than
- 50:24Speaker 2: worrying about things like making sure Social Security is solvent
- 50:30Speaker 2: or even that our colleges don't spend all their money
- 50:33Speaker 2: on quarterbacks. They introduced a bill that fixes something that
- 50:39Speaker 2: didn't need fixing. They introduced the DCA Air Safety Act.
- 50:49Speaker 2: The DCA is the initials for Reagan International Airport. And
- 50:59Speaker 2: what Kane and Warner did was introduce a bill that
- 51:02Speaker 2: will make flying in and out of this airport more
- 51:05Speaker 2: expensive because they're going to create a government cap on
- 51:09Speaker 2: how many flights will be allowed in each hour. And
- 51:12Speaker 2: I went and I checked. I checked the NTSB's report
- 51:17Speaker 2: on the airliner crash, 67 people dead, including soldiers and
- 51:24Speaker 2: passengers on commercial airliner. And I checked. I went through
- 51:29Speaker 2: the whole NTSB report looking for the section of that
- 51:33Speaker 2: report that said the volume of air traffic coming into
- 51:37Speaker 2: Reagan Airport was one of the causational factors. You know
- 51:42Speaker 2: what I couldn't find in there? The volume of air
- 51:46Speaker 2: traffic was a cause for the midair collision. So here
- 51:51Speaker 2: come Mark Warner and Tim Kaine writing a law that
- 51:56Speaker 2: will make flying in and out of the Washington, D.C.
- 52:00Speaker 2: area more expensive. Remember, they're part of the Affordability Party.
- 52:04Speaker 2: Members of, oh yes, heroes, really, of the Affordability Party.
- 52:09Speaker 2: So they're going to drive up the cost of flying
- 52:11Speaker 2: in and out of Washington, D.C. to fix something that
- 52:15Speaker 2: even the National Transportation Safety Board said wasn't the problem.
- 52:24Speaker 2: I'm sorry, this is where I'm going to get a
- 52:25Speaker 2: text message saying, Joe, keep the jar of Valium nearby.
- 52:29Speaker 2: Where is Sealy's CBD oil? Make sure that I'm... But
- 52:36Speaker 2: this is what they'll do. And so if the government
- 52:40Speaker 2: responds to Claude's call to regulate AI, this is the
- 52:45Speaker 2: same stuff you're going to get. You're going to get
- 52:47Speaker 2: some FAA-style commission to run the thing.
- 52:51Speaker 10: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
- 52:54Speaker 10: feels like even a family road trip is taking a risk.
- 52:57Speaker 10: We don't want the feeling of being unprotected and vulnerable. GetCCL.com
