"Taiwan" (FTTxJT Thu 092426 hr3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: This is Independence from Virginia, again, first thing today, by
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Joe works at.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: A steel mill, he's damn near every day. Pleased for
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: work when the sun comes up, drops the kids to
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: school and all the work. Joe has everything he dreamed of,
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: all the treasures that he needs. No wonder Joe's always smiling,
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: he only.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: Aims to please you.
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: Thank you for letting me be of service to you.
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: We gather around here each morning so I can tell
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: you what went on last night. And then I will
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: give you my analysis of it, of course. But what
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: I really want to hear, and we were having a
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: raging debate about this the other day, but I want
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: to hear how it's impacting you, where you are. And
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: we were talking about these shows yesterday. that are, and
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: I guess I've honestly only perused the providings of a
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: Nick Fuentes to a point, but I've tried radio shows
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: where guys just go out there and say, yeah, call me.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: And then they sit like awkward silence is motivation for
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: you to call and share your thoughts on something. And
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: maybe it works on the internet where people are just
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: sitting there saying, well, I got some, you know, My
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: 4chan account has been suspended, so I'm going to say
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: something on this Twitter feed. But I've become distracted with
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: Twitter feeds. We don't keep a Twitter feed up here
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: in the studio. Facebook, you can contact us in either
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: of those ways. I prefer the traditional, the phone call
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: at 434-882-4217. I think there's an intentionality to text messaging
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: as well, partially because I can control the flow of information. Yes, yes,
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: I admit that's why we do some of the things
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: we do, because it's, at the end of the day,
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: one of our names is on the masthead here, and
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: I love you, and you're the reason we're here, but
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: it ain't you. So you're not the one that's going
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: to wind up in the crosshairs if something goes cattywampus
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: there and somebody gets called a Nazi and then it's
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: Johnny bar the door and we're just no better than
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: a broadcast version of 4chan. But that being said, I
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: do want to hear how the news of the day
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: is impacting you. You can also email us at jtinthemorningradio
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: at gmail.com. That address, not to be confused with the website,
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: which is joethomasinthemorningradio JoeThomasInTheMorning.com. See, I even did it to myself.
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: See?
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Where you go to enter to win our Trans-Siberian Orchestra
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: concert tickets in your town. But leave us begin with
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: our first things this morning. Chairman Xi of the People's
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Republic of China arrived yesterday to a presidential greeting. President
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Trump and Melania on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Then not an hour into their meeting, Scott Besson, Treasury
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: Secretary of the United States, came out and announced that
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: the U.S. and China have extended their trade truce until
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: January 10th of next year. It was due to expand.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: That's the Busan Agreement. It was due to expire November 10th.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Four Republican senators are going after Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: to do what they've been told to do regarding Taiwan.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: Timing being interesting. And the four senators, see if you
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: find any commonality here. Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky. John Cornyn,
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: Republican of Texas. Lisa Murkowski, Republican from Alaska. And Tom Tillis,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: Republican from North Carolina. Find the commonality and win a
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: QP doll. But they sent a letter to Rubio insisting
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: that they live up to their obligated $ 300 million in
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: foreign military financing that Congress approved for Taiwan, and after
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: Pete Hegseth for not obligating a billion dollars through the
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: Taiwan Security Corporation cooperation initiative. They also pointed out the
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: administration is holding up $ 14 billion in foreign military aid
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: to Taiwan, all while Chairman Xi is here from China. Embarrassing.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: This is why you don't get invited to state dinners, guys.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Federal judge in Washington is questioning whether the Trump administration
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: provided due process to the media outlets that had their
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: passes to the White House press corps removed, saying that
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: two previous court cases insist that the administration provide that
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: due process. When told by the administration they believe those
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: cases to be wrongly decided, Timothy Kelly said, they may
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: be wrongly decided, but as a district court judge, I
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: have to apply them. Iran's president took to the podium
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: at the UN General Assembly, saying they're the victims of terrorism.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: We have only defended himself, he said, as he showed
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: pictures of the dead Ayatollah. And Senator Rand Paul told
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Newsmax he is considering running for the GOP nomination for
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: president in 2028. And those are just some of our

  Speaker 15: You were strolling along in goodwill. When just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 15: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them, nestled
• 9:08
  Speaker 15: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: Oh, yes!
• 9:15
  Speaker 16: Yes!
• 9:16
  Speaker 15: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your

  Speaker 15: favorite form of ear candy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 12: Oh, my.
• 9:24
  Speaker 15: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 12: Shh!
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Do you smell that?
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: Shh!
• 9:32
  Speaker 15: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: And with every item.

  Speaker 10: You buy, you fund local job training and more.

• 9:49
  Speaker 17: Much good to your community.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: Goodwill.
• 9:54
  Speaker 15: Bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 18: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 18: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 18: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 18: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 18: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 18: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:24
  Speaker 18: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 18: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 18: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 18: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 19: Eat better.

  Speaker 5: Then probably.
• 11:52
  Speaker 19: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:55
  Speaker 19: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 24: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 14: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 23: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: I can probably swim.
• 12:04
  Speaker 10: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: Okay, don't tell me what to do. Cannonball!
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: Cramp!
• 12:12
  Speaker 25: I have a cramp.
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: Probably....
• 12:23
  Speaker 19: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 26: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 23: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 23: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 23: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
• 12:45
  Speaker 23: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.

• 13:11
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: For Miss Fume was about to fall victim of the dreaded.
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: International Chinese communist conspiracy.
• 13:23
  Speaker 23: Yes, these fanatical fiends, under the leadership of the so-called
• 13:27
  Speaker 23: Mao Tse-Tung, had caught Miss Fume off guard for one
• 13:30
  Speaker 23: brief but fatal moment.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: And destroyed her.
• 13:32
  Speaker 13: Ah, yes, they did.
• 13:33
  Speaker 24: And funny, 434-882-4217 is the phone number for how the
• 13:34
  Speaker 24: news of.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: The day is impacting you as you bask in the
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: amplitude or frequency modulation events goodness that comes of this.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: This email comes in on the president's visit with, but
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: more importantly, the four congresspeople, the four senators that have
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: railed about Taiwan. Steve writes in, they're all Democrats that
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: identify as Republicans. Where's my damn QP doll? Yeah, when
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: Tom Tillis, Mitch McConnell, you know, I don't know if
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: Cassidy was busy at that time or they thought, you know,
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: maybe they were just all playing pinochle. And they said, hey,
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: you know, we have four here. Why don't we just
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: issue a statement about Taiwan? But there's an important point
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: of Taiwan. And Taiwan is to China what Israel is
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: to Iran. And they have to destroy it. They have
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: to consume it. Not because of revolution, not because of Mao. Well,
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: a little bit because of Mao. Because communism only succeeds
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: when nobody knows any different. Communism, like all really, really
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: good things, they... They only exist, they can only survive
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: if there are no places to compare it to. And
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: the Chai Com's problem with Taiwan is it is a prosperous,
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: decidedly non-communist country. The subtext, the dirty little secret of
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: what China wants out of Taiwan is not whether or
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: not they exist and make China look bad for their
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: communism and their human rights violations. No, China wants Taiwan
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: the same way Bernie Sanders wants rich people. No, stop it. Well, yes, okay,
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: Bernie Sanders wants rich people for campaign contributions. You got
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: me there. You got me there. Guilty as charged. Caught
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: me with my mouth open. Bernie Sanders wants rich people
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: to vilify, to go after, to use their money under
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: the obvious threat of takeover, behind the obvious threat of
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: losing their independence. But what China will do when they
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: take over in Taiwan is operate them the same way
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: they're operating now. For a time being, it will be
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: a cash cow for them. It's a funding stream, the
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: same way that we want to tax the rich people
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: is Bernie Sanders' favorite mantra. And so you have to
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: realize that Taiwan and this stuff, all Mitch McConnell and
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: Lisa Murkowski and all these folks out there honking on
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: about Taiwan. Yes, we have commitments to Taiwan. Are we
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: not giving Taiwan their due the way we give Israel
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: their due? And I shouldn't have specifically said Iran. Israel
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: is to the Middle East what Taiwan is to China.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: It's not just a foothold. It's not just a place
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: to land and hang out while we try to deal
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: with Muslim extremism. As a matter of fact, ironically, it's
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: the Muslims who are being annihilated by the Chai Khams.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: But it's that proof that their way is wrong. This
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: is why they can't stand it. This was Ukraine's power
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: over the Soviet Union for many years was that Ukraine
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: was could get along without the Soviet Union if it dared.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: It never dared, but they were one of the first
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: to say, hey, we want to declare independence, our own independence,
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: get us out of this Iron Curtain thing. So the
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: issue of Taiwan is There is a simplicity to it.
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: People should be allowed to govern themselves as they see fit.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: Tell me if this doesn't sound familiar. China says there's
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: a lot of ethnic Chinese living in Taiwan that are apparently,
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: according to the CHICOMs, not having their voices heard. Does
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: any of that sound familiar? I think it does. So
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: that will be the premise for the invasion. And they
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: all try to keep business as usual, as if anyone
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: knows how to run businesses like the Taiwanese. But it'll
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: eventually fade. Eventually, the Chai Comps will mismanage it and
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: it'll fall. And then they'll look around saying, well, all right,
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: we had some treaties that said Taiwan was part of us.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: It's really the other way around. Mainland China is part
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: of Thailand. Taiwan. Because when Mao... took over this is
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: where the government went in exile and has been wildly
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: prosperous ever since so that's why Mitch McConnell and Tom
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Tillis and these folks are bent out of shape about
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: our backing of Israel I mean Taiwan Because they want
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: to be seen on the right side of this issue.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: And there is a fair argument that on the surface,
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: it appears that President Trump, if pressed, would abandon Taiwan.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: And I think that's to his peril. If any of you,
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: let's say, work or run a winery in our flagship
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: city area, per se, that might be able to get
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: a message to him on that. Because it's important to
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: have not just the foothold in a region, but is

  Speaker 5: that hill. Let's see.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: If something costs less, but people are happier with it,
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: that sounds like something to look into. And that is MediShare.

• 22:11
  Speaker 4: care can save many families up to 500 bucks a month.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: And that is huge. But it's also true that people
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: are way more satisfied after making the switch to the
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: member satisfaction rate for MediShare is double that of the
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: typical health insurance plan.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Double.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: MediShare works too. It's been around for 30 years. Members

  Speaker 25: you like to be in the shoes of Jackson Coven?
• 29:18
  Speaker 25: And you guys are going, okay, that's not Nicholas. That's not,
• 29:22
  Speaker 25: that's not Scheffler. That's not Shuffler Jackson Coven.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 29:28
  Speaker 25: Let's dial back. He just turned 21 in May. He's
• 29:32
  Speaker 25: a San Jose, California guy. He moved to Chapel Hill,
• 29:34
  Speaker 25: North Carolina when he was in high school. He attended Auburn.
• 29:38
  Speaker 25: And as a freshman, he had one of the best seasons.
• 29:40
  Speaker 25: in all of collegiate golf history in 2024, he won
• 29:43
  Speaker 25: the sec championship. He was runner-up at the NCAA Division
• 29:47
  Speaker 25: I Men's Individual Championship, and he became the first collegiate
• 29:52
  Speaker 25: player ever to sweep all four major collegiate awards in
• 29:56
  Speaker 25: the same season.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: We're talking about the Haskins.
• 29:58
  Speaker 25: The Nicklaus, the Ben Hogan Award, the Phil Mickelson Award.
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 30:02
  Speaker 25: So anyway, in July of 2026, in just his third
• 30:06
  Speaker 25: professional start, Just turned 21. He won the 3M Open
• 30:11
  Speaker 25: for his first PGA Tour victory. He shot a 10
• 30:14
  Speaker 25: under 61 in the third round and then shot 66
• 30:19
  Speaker 25: on Sunday.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: And beat Scotty Sheffler. World number one.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, that's very good.
• 30:27
  Speaker 25: No, how good is this, right?
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: So anyway, he is at.
• 30:30
  Speaker 25: The President's Cup.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: Hang on a second here. Something's going on in here.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: I know, I'm getting feedback. It's not feedback. It's ghosts
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: in the machine somewhere. Anyway, go ahead. This 21-year-old wins the.
• 30:45
  Speaker 25: So anyway, he's at the President's Cup, made the President's
• 30:48
  Speaker 25: Cup team. He will team with Justin Thomas today. Anyway,
• 30:52
  Speaker 25: his press conference... like a true pro.
• 30:55
  Speaker 12: Like you said, it's just trying to find the balance.
• 30:57
  Speaker 24: Obviously, making it this quick is really cool and special,
• 31:01
  Speaker 24: but at the same time, when it comes up on
• 31:03
  Speaker 24: the first tee tomorrow, I need to feel like I
• 31:05
  Speaker 24: belong and I'm ready to compete.
• 31:08
  Speaker 12: Just getting comfortable and acquainted with everything.
• 31:12
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 31:13
  Speaker 25: He's going to be, he literally is going to be
• 31:16
  Speaker 25: like a pledge, uh, for, you know, fight gamma, tap
• 31:20
  Speaker 25: a tap a keg a day or whatever. So I
• 31:22
  Speaker 25: think Kayla, a couple of nights ago, he, no, he
• 31:26
  Speaker 25: didn't have a date.
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: He's not married.
• 31:27
  Speaker 25: So he had to appear in a picture with all
• 31:30
  Speaker 25: the wives all by himself. And he said it was
• 31:33
  Speaker 25: a little awkward.
• 31:34
  Speaker 12: Uh, it was a little bit of peer pressure to
• 31:36
  Speaker 12: get up there, but it was cool.
• 31:38
  Speaker 24: I mean, It was, I felt a little out of place,
• 31:41
  Speaker 24: but as we've seen before, it's kind of something that
• 31:45
  Speaker 24: happens if you're single going to one of those galas,
• 31:48
  Speaker 24: they kind of pick on you a little bit, so.
• 31:51
  Speaker 12: I mean, it was a fun night and very enjoyable.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: The kid could play.
• 31:55
  Speaker 25: As I said, he'll be paired with Justin Thomas today.
• 31:57
  Speaker 25: Tea time starts at 12.35 in the President's Cup. And
• 32:01
  Speaker 25: that's one story. That's like one match I'm going to
• 32:03
  Speaker 25: try to catch this afternoon because to watch a 21-year-old.
• 32:06
  Speaker 25: I mean, it's not the Writers' Cup, but it's one
• 32:10
  Speaker 25: of the team events that can be very, you know,
• 32:12
  Speaker 25: it can.
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: Can help launch a career.
• 32:14
  Speaker 20: Okay.
• 32:15
  Speaker 25: So I woke up this morning to this piece of
• 32:18
  Speaker 25: news from this guy who my wife and I have
• 32:22
  Speaker 25: watched at least the first of the trilogy more than
• 32:27
  Speaker 25: four or five times.
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: Don't let the beard fool you.
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: He's a child.
• 32:33
  Speaker 12: It's funny because he's fat.
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: Funny fact I follow on Facebook.
• 32:41
  Speaker 22: All right.
• 32:41
  Speaker 25: You recognize the laugh if we were playing musical chairs
• 32:46
  Speaker 25: or musical trivia? That is the laugh of Duke grad
• 32:49
  Speaker 25: and North Carolina master's graduate, Ken Jeong. Ken Jeong, of course,
• 32:56
  Speaker 25: from Hangover is Leslie Chow, became yesterday a minority owner of.
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: The Vegas A's.
• 33:04
  Speaker 25: Now, the Vegas A's will not be playing in Vegas
• 33:06
  Speaker 25: until 2028, but Chanho Park. is heading up what they
• 33:10
  Speaker 25: call team or what they've called Team 61. And so
• 33:15
  Speaker 25: Ken Jeong says, yes, there's going to be a Leslie
• 33:18
  Speaker 25: Chow bobblehead night even for the A's.
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: But to be a part of Korean history, he loves it.
• 33:24
  Speaker 27: To me, this is a victory for Major League Baseball.
• 33:27
  Speaker 27: It's a victory for Korea because Chanho Park is now
• 33:31
  Speaker 27: the bridge between Major League Baseball and Korea. And as
• 33:35
  Speaker 27: a Korean, I'm just so proud to be a part
• 33:38
  Speaker 27: of this in any way. And I'm just so happy
• 33:40
  Speaker 27: for Chanho, the athletics and the city of Vegas, the
• 33:44
  Speaker 27: house that Mr.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Chow built.
• 33:46
  Speaker 10: All of this makes sense.
• 33:48
  Speaker 27: All of this makes sense to me.
• 33:50
  Speaker 25: He said his head is so big. Of course, they
• 33:52
  Speaker 25: have to have bobblehead night. He was on college game day,
• 33:56
  Speaker 25: I think, last year and making picks. But Kenja, he's
• 33:58
  Speaker 25: one of the funniest guys in the world. And I've
• 34:00
  Speaker 25: loved him, you know, ever since.
• 34:01
  Speaker 22: Ah, you find my $ 80, 000.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's just his voice. And the cards and letters
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: start coming. But now will the luxury box restaurant be
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: known as Chow's or the Hangover Grill? If it's not,
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, if it's not, it should be.
• 34:22
  Speaker 25: And now I'm prompted when I get back.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, instead of businessman specials, they can be called hangover specials.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: Hangover specials. You have to play the getaway day on Wednesday.
• 34:36
  Speaker 25: I think they're going to, because, you know, of all
• 34:38
  Speaker 25: the things he's done, that trilogy is so just, you know,
• 34:41
  Speaker 25: if you want to binge, if it's a rainy day, whatever,
• 34:44
  Speaker 25: and called, if you want to, if you've never seen it,
• 34:48
  Speaker 25: you know, hangover one was such a classic and then
• 34:51
  Speaker 25: two got a little worse.
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: And then three was just terrible altogether, but it was still,
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: it was still funny. It was still good. Okay.
• 34:58
  Speaker 25: Um, I'll talk about it next hour, Joe, four days
• 35:00
  Speaker 25: left now in the season. And you know, the way
• 35:03
  Speaker 25: it's going, the blue Jays were eliminated. So thank you
• 35:06
  Speaker 25: for participating. Uh, the guardians did stay a game in
• 35:09
  Speaker 25: front of the white socks, Chicago lost to the world's five,
• 35:11
  Speaker 25: four and Boston beat Cleveland won nothing. Sonny gray had
• 35:14
  Speaker 25: a great night. So, uh, and the Rangers lost to
• 35:17
  Speaker 25: the Mets and the Strohs lost to Seattle. So Texas
• 35:20
  Speaker 25: and Houston still tied atop the AOS. The Astros have
• 35:24
  Speaker 25: the tie race to the bottom. Does the team going
• 35:26
  Speaker 25: to have a 400 record?
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: At least in the.
• 35:29
  Speaker 25: Final four days, you've got all these teams because the
• 35:32
  Speaker 25: Diamondbacks and Padres both won. It leaves the Phillies tied
• 35:36
  Speaker 25: with the Cubs now for second in the national league
• 35:38
  Speaker 25: wildcard again behind San Diego. So Arizona beat the Rockies.
• 35:42
  Speaker 25: Padres won. So anyway, the final four days, this is
• 35:46
  Speaker 25: the way it should be. But as I said, and
• 35:48
  Speaker 25: I'm not going to dwell on it because I ranted
• 35:50
  Speaker 25: the other day, as I said.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: You've got the Phillies playing Milwaukee. That's great.
• 35:56
  Speaker 25: But you've got the Rangers playing the Mets.
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: And so, come on. Well, you know, at this point,
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: it's game is a game is a game, you know.
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: But the Mets won.
• 36:09
  Speaker 25: The Mets have won the last two.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: So, you know, so it.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Should be, I guess.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: Now they're playing the Nationals. I mean, the Mets probably
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: looked at this series like, oh, look in their chops. Oh,
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: we're going to play three games against the Nationals at
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: the end. We'll storm into the postseason. We've spent more
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: money than the Yankees. Did you see this? Paul Toboni,
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: the new director of baseball operations for the Nationals, when
• 36:34

• 36:41
  Speaker 5: these guys and Connolly Early, and they just extended Cade Cavalli,
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: but they asked him, are you going to buy some
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: free agents over the winter to make a run? And
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: he said, I think our friends in New York are
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: proof that if you spend a lot of money, you
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: don't guarantee yourself a playoff spot. Oh, there you go.
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: Which is true. Which is true.
• 37:04

  Speaker 25: Cause it just takes me back to when we were

  Speaker 25: radio with the white earpiece and And the teachers, Mr. McDonald,
• 37:27

• 37:31
  Speaker 5: It's 17. Yeah, I know how it goes.

  Speaker 25: You had to have a teacher that was into baseball,

• 38:05
  Speaker 21: life-saving service as the world's leading nonprofit organization focused on
• 38:09
  Speaker 21: heart and brain health. Heart disease still kills more people
• 38:13
  Speaker 21: in the United States each year than all types of
• 38:15
  Speaker 21: cancer combined, but more than half of Americans are unaware
• 38:18
  Speaker 21: of this fact, according to a recent Harris Poll survey
• 38:21
  Speaker 21: conducted for the American Heart Association. However, the majority of
• 38:25
  Speaker 21: heart disease is preventable. New research has improved the prevention, diagnosis,
• 38:30
  Speaker 21: and treatment of heart disease and its risk factors. Efforts
• 38:33
  Speaker 21: led by the American Heart Association have reduced deaths from
• 38:36
  Speaker 21: heart disease by half over the past century and helped

• 39:09
  Speaker 22: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 22: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 22: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 22: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,

• 39:32
  Speaker 22: age and poor diet can lead to a loss of

  Speaker 26: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:37
  Speaker 26: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 26: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 26: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 26: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 26: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example

  Speaker 5: The government.

  Speaker 25: The government.
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, the government can.
• 44:32
  Speaker 10: The government can.
• 44:34
  Speaker 8: And the government can, cause they mix it up with
• 44:36
  Speaker 8: lye to make.
• 44:37
  Speaker 12: It all taste good.
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: So Mike listening down in Vero on WTTB there, and
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: we appreciate everyone who tunes in and does and joins in.
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: But here is his question. It's two-part. He writes in, Joe,
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: I have two questions for you, one serious, one not. First,
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: the not serious question. You and Mac do the best
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: sports talk radio on radio, and yet I only get
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: 10 minutes of it each morning. Can you guys do
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: a sports talk show? Well, it would have to be
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: Max because he's got the gravity in it. And I
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: apologize for that. But unfortunately, a lot of the sports
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: world forgets the show part. And talk shows do this, too. Yeah.
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh were radio guys doing music shows,
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: trying to be entertaining to people and bring in a
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: mass audience long before they were doing news analysis. So
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: was I. And that will be the end of my
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: trying to compare myself to anyone else because I be
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: me there. I do like sports. He says, so what
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: sport do you like the best? Are you a football guy?
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: Or a baseball guy. I'm a baseball guy. I love
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: watching football as a passive kind of observer or whatever.
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: Prefer collegiate, and as collegiate degrades high school athletics more
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: than anything else, although most high school leagues have name
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: image likeness programs. But I was always a baseball guy,
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: mostly because of the American paradigm of redemption and Baseball
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: is built on redemption, Mike. And you can commit an
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: error in the field or misplay a ball, even if
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: it doesn't show up as an error. And you can
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: come up the next at bat and try to redeem
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: yourself for it by driving in a run or vice versa,
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: that kind of thing. So I like that. And plus,
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: the greatest moment in my life was when I threw
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: a kid out at second base. I was a catcher.
• 46:55
  Speaker 6: So.
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: Insert tools of ignorance joke somewhere amongst the conservative talk
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: radio for you keyboard warriors. But I was a catcher,
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: and I wasn't powerful. I could get hits, but I
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: couldn't hit home runs. And when you're a catcher or
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: a first baseman, I'm sorry, stereotype is you've got to
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: be a bomber. And friend John was the starting catcher,
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: and I would come in in the fifth inning. We
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: were playing seven-inning games. And it would come in fifth
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: inning to, you know, play defense. And this kid stole,
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: tried to steal second base. Fast kid. And I threw
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: him out. And he stood there. And we're, you know, what,
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: 17 years old? He had never been thrown out before.
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: Didn't know what to do. Umpire called him out and
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: he's like, what? Out what? And that was a fun moment.
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: So baseball is my thing. for many reasons, and some
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: of them applicable to your second question, which is, Joe,
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: you talk about the union movement, you talk about the government,
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: you talk about how the government colludes with business to
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: help protect their business in this quasi-Marxist way. How do
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: we unwind all of this? Well, Mike, the beginnings are
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: understanding how we got here, and we were allowed to
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: be demoralized little by little through the 19th century, really,
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: and a lot of it. I know we blame the
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: 20th century a lot for our demoralization, our unplugging from
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: our authentic But the 19th century really leads us to
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: the place where the technocrats come along. And the Civil War,
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: I think a lot of people had faith crises during
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: the Civil War here in the United States. Slavery, even
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: though Christianity was one of the great weapons that the
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: escaping slaves used to protect themselves, it took a lot
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: of hits during the late 19th century. Faith. The government inserted,
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: you know, people were questioning. A lot of that began.
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: You know, how can God allow this to happen? They
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: would look at these battlefields just strewn with bodies. The
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: mechanization of our weaponry. Gatling guns and things like that.
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: Our ability to inflict mass casualties. Our battlefield tactics were
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: 17th century and our weaponry was bordering on 20th century.
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: And the bloodshed was ridiculous. So a lot of people
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: started saying, well, there can't be a God if he
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: allows this stuff to happen. And the technocrats seized on that.
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: the technocrats embodied by the phrase, God created man in
• 50:11
  Speaker 5: his own image and man being a considerate soul did
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: the same. We invented God. We violated the first and
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: second commandments of having other gods before him and creating
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: craven images of ourselves. It wasn't that we decided Zeus
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: or Athena was the God. We decided we were God.
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: And this has been the very slow fall from the
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: sun as our wings have melted from under us. But
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: the government, the technocrats, the Woodrow Wilson said, well, if
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: you're not going to be self-governing, we'll do the governing.
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: And that's how we get here. So we have to
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: get back to not looking for the government for help.
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: And there's two good reasons for this, Mike. Number one,
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: they're going to run out of money really soon. And
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: I mean the ability just to have somebody cover our debts. Oh,
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: we ran out of money a long time ago. I'm
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: just saying that we still have people, investors, who are
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: willing to cover our indebtedness for now. When that happens,
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: if we don't untether ourselves from government assistance on business,
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: on Main Street as well, How many businesses do you know,
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: SBA loans and grants from the state government and the
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: city government and economic development money? Because when all that
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: goes away, what are you going to be left with?
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: Because we won't have leadership at that point. Nobody will
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: have the intestinal fortitude to be real leaders at that point, Mike.
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: It's a great question. How do we unwind this? We
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: have to stop looking to the government for help. And
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: Trump has gone a long way through Doge of doing that.
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: But these Democrats that have been winning in places like
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: New Jersey, and by the way, did anyone elect the
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: attorney general to be the governor for 18 days while
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: Mikey Sherrill was apparently taking a powder? And isn't that
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: the lieutenant governor's job? But we have to stop looking
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: to the government for our help.
• 52:51
  Speaker 21: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  Speaker 21: compression of spinal nerves, according to Dr. Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  Speaker 21: California-based chiropractor with more than 30 years of experience. This
• 53:01
  Speaker 21: compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury, or
• 53:05
  Speaker 21: simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:09
  Speaker 21: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:12
  Speaker 21: the neck and back, Dr. Fisher explains. His inventions, the
